Known limitations for The Nippon Foundation official website:
- Graphics content: For images and graphics where editable data is not available (i.e., cannot be modified), there are areas where the contrast ratio between the text and the foreground and background colors of the images is insufficient, or where information is conveyed solely through color.
- Video content: Some video content embedded on our website does not fully comply with accessibility standards. Specifically, there are instances where captions, transcripts, or alternative descriptions for both audio and visual information are not provided. As a result, users who rely on these features may encounter difficulties in accessing the full content of the videos.
- Embedded third-party content: Our website includes embedded content from third-party services such as YouTube and Google Maps. As these are provided and controlled by external parties, we are unable to fully manage or guarantee their accessibility features. This may result in limited access to captions, transcripts, or other accessibility tools. We recommend visiting the accessibility resources provided by these third-party services for more information.
- Content in PDF format: In some cases, PDF documents on our site do not have properly structured headings according to document hierarchy, and the difference in appearance such as font size is not enough. Additionally, alternative text for images and graphics is not always provided. This can result in accessibility issues for users who rely on these features.
