Fuji Yakuhin

Fuji Yakuhin is a Japanese compound pharmaceutical company that began in 1930 as a home-medicine (haichi-yaku) sales business in Toyama City, Toyama Prefecture. It describes itself as a "compound pharmaceutical company" supporting people's daily health, and operates four businesses: home-medicine sales, drugstore and dispensing pharmacy operations, medical-use pharmaceutical sales, and pharmaceutical manufacturing. Its group slogan and management philosophy emphasize community-based health services, and it aims toward its 100th anniversary in 2030 under the mid-term plan "Fuji2030."

Fuji Yakuhin's history traces to February 1930, when it began a home-medicine (haichi-yaku) sales business in Toyama City, Toyama Prefecture. In April 1954 it was established as Yugen Kaisha Takayanagi Yakuhin Shokai; in November 1963 it changed its trade name to Yugen Kaisha Fuji Yakuhin; and in May 1969 it reorganized as a joint-stock company. It expanded sales territories across Japan from the 1960s through the 1980s, moved its head office to its current location in Saitama City, Saitama Prefecture in January 1982, and began drugstore operations in March 1992. It also began manufacturing and selling medical-use pharmaceuticals in July 1992. The company states it has continued the tradition of home-medicine sales, delivering medicines manufactured at its own Toyama plant, and describes itself as a compound pharmaceutical company operating home-medicine sales, drugstore/dispensing pharmacy, medical-use pharmaceutical sales, and pharmaceutical manufacturing businesses.

A diversified pharmaceutical company, the only drugstore-chain operator in the industry with an integrated manufacturing and distribution system.
