History FM Fuji was registered on December 14, 1987 and started broadcasting at 8:08am on August 8, 1988. Initially, it was an affiliate of the Japan FM Network, but, during its early years, the station was diverging from the network and airing more programs of its own. On April 1, 1993, the station left its JFN affiliation and became an independent station.

Among its major awards are a 2021 Japan Commercial Broadcasters Association award for its program Rojiura Base and its 2014 Taisetsu no Koe radio spot.
Reception While the station is largely based in Yamanashi Prefecture, thanks to the Mitsutoge relay transmitter, it can be received in parts of Kanto: parts of the Tama area and central Tokyo, Kanagawa Prefecture, Chiba Prefecture, Saitama Prefecture and Ibaraki Prefecture. Its independent status is to differentiate it from FM stations receivable in Tokyo.
