Commitment to Accessibility
At Komorebi Journeys, we believe that everyone should be able to access and enjoy the beauty and culture of Japan. We are dedicated to providing a website and digital content that is accessible to people with disabilities. Our commitment to accessibility is ongoing, and we are constantly working to improve our website to ensure it meets the needs of all users.
Our team is committed to following the principles of universal design, creating content that is flexible and adaptable to different user needs and preferences. We strive to make our website as user-friendly as possible, regardless of ability or technology.
We recognize that accessibility is not a one-time task, but rather an ongoing process. We regularly review and update our website to ensure it remains accessible over time. We also welcome feedback from our users and are committed to making improvements based on their experiences.
Komorebi Journeys' accessibility efforts include:
- Regularly testing our website for accessibility issues using automated tools and manual testing.
- Providing alternative text for all images and other non-text content.
- Ensuring that our website is navigable using a keyboard alone.
- Using clear and concise language throughout our website.
- Providing sufficient contrast between text and background colors.
- Making our website compatible with screen readers and other assistive technologies.
We believe that accessibility is a shared responsibility, and we are committed to working with our partners and vendors to ensure that their products and services are also accessible.
Our accessibility policy is reviewed annually by Akari Sato, our Accessibility Officer, to ensure it reflects current best practices and standards. Akari can be contacted using the contact information provided at the end of this page.
Accessibility Features
We have implemented several features to enhance the accessibility of our website:
- Alternative Text: All images and non-text content have alternative text descriptions, providing context for screen reader users and those with image loading disabled.
- Keyboard Navigation: Our website is fully navigable using a keyboard, ensuring that users who cannot use a mouse can still access all content and functionality.
- Clear and Consistent Navigation: We have designed our navigation to be clear and consistent across all pages, making it easy for users to find what they are looking for.
- Sufficient Color Contrast: We have ensured that there is sufficient contrast between text and background colors, making it easier for users with low vision to read our content.
- Resizable Text: Users can increase or decrease the text size on our website using their browser settings, allowing them to customize the viewing experience to their needs.
- Screen Reader Compatibility: Our website is designed to be compatible with screen readers, allowing users with visual impairments to access our content.
- Form Labels and Instructions: All form fields have clear labels and instructions, making it easier for users to complete forms accurately.
- Descriptive Links: All links have descriptive text, providing users with a clear understanding of where the link will take them.
- ARIA Attributes: We use ARIA attributes to enhance the accessibility of dynamic content and interactive elements, providing additional information to assistive technologies.
- Skip Navigation Link: A "Skip to main content" link is provided at the top of each page, allowing users to bypass the navigation menu and go directly to the main content.
The following table outlines the specific WCAG 2.1 Level AA criteria that we aim to meet and how we address them:
| WCAG 2.1 Level AA Guideline | Description | How Komorebi Journeys Addresses This |
|---|---|---|
| 1.1.1 Non-text Content | Provide text alternatives for any non-text content so that it can be changed into other forms people need, such as large print, braille, speech, symbols or simpler language. | We provide descriptive alt text for all images and non-text elements on our website. |
| 1.3.1 Info and Relationships | Information, structure, and relationships conveyed through presentation can be programmatically determined or are available in text. | We use semantic HTML elements to convey structure and relationships between content elements. We use ARIA attributes where necessary to enhance accessibility. |
| 1.4.3 Contrast (Minimum) | The visual presentation of text and images of text has a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1. | We ensure sufficient contrast between text and background colors throughout our website. We have tested our color combinations to meet WCAG requirements. |
| 2.1.1 Keyboard | All functionality of the content is operable through a keyboard interface without requiring specific timings for individual keystrokes. | Our website is fully navigable using a keyboard alone. Users can access all content and functionality using the tab key and other keyboard shortcuts. |
| 2.4.4 Link Purpose (In Context) | The purpose of each link can be determined from the link text alone, or from the link text together with its programmatically determined link context. | We use descriptive link text that clearly indicates the destination of each link. |
