Accessibility Statement for Sakura Journeys

At Sakura Journeys, we are committed to ensuring that our website is accessible to everyone, including individuals with disabilities. We strive to provide an inclusive and user-friendly online experience for all visitors. We are continuously working to improve the accessibility of our website and aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA.

Our Commitment to Accessibility

Sakura Journeys believes that everyone should have equal access to information and services online. To ensure this, we are dedicated to following accessibility best practices and standards. Our accessibility efforts include:

• Providing alternative text for all images and non-text content.
• Ensuring sufficient color contrast between text and background.
• Using clear and simple language.
• Structuring content with proper headings and lists.
• Making our website navigable using a keyboard alone.
• Ensuring compatibility with screen readers and other assistive technologies.
• Regularly testing and monitoring our website for accessibility issues.

WCAG 2.1 Compliance

Sakura Journeys is committed to meeting the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA. These guidelines outline how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities. We strive to adhere to these guidelines by:

• Perceivable: Ensuring that information and user interface components are presentable to users in ways they can perceive.
• Operable: Ensuring that user interface components and navigation are operable.
• Understandable: Ensuring that information and the operation of the user interface are understandable.
• Robust: Ensuring that content is robust enough that it can be interpreted reliably by a wide variety of user agents, including assistive technologies.

Keyboard Navigation

Our website is designed to be fully navigable using a keyboard. Users should be able to access all links, form fields, and other interactive elements using the Tab key to move forward and Shift+Tab to move backward. We have also implemented skip links to allow users to bypass repetitive navigation and go directly to the main content of each page.

We regularly test keyboard navigation to ensure that all elements are reachable and that the focus order is logical and intuitive.

Screen Reader Compatibility

Sakura Journeys is committed to ensuring that our website is compatible with screen readers. We use semantic HTML to structure our content in a way that is easily understood by screen readers. We also provide alternative text for all images and use ARIA attributes to enhance the accessibility of interactive elements.

We regularly test our website with popular screen readers, such as JAWS and NVDA, to identify and address any compatibility issues.

Color Contrast

We understand the importance of sufficient color contrast for users with low vision or color blindness. We have carefully selected color palettes that provide adequate contrast between text and background. We regularly use color contrast analyzers to ensure that our website meets the minimum contrast ratios specified in the WCAG guidelines.

Our primary text color is var(--text-color) and our primary background color is var(--background-color). This combination offers sufficient contrast to ensure readability. In dark mode, the text color is var(--dark-text-color) and the background color is var(--dark-background-color), maintaining a high level of contrast.

Accessible Forms

All forms on our website are designed to be accessible. We provide clear and descriptive labels for all form fields, and we use ARIA attributes to provide additional information to users of assistive technologies. We also provide error messages that are clear, concise, and easy to understand.

Our forms are structured using semantic HTML, which helps screen reader users understand the purpose and structure of the form. Required fields are clearly marked, and we provide instructions for completing the form.
