Radio stations in Japan
133 stations from Japanplay right here in your browser — the working, browser-playable slice of the 202the community directory lists for the country. Tap PLAY on any station below and it streams live from the broadcaster’s own servers, or open one on the listening globe to hear it over the living map.

Why the gap? A station counts as playableonly when its stream is secure (https) and the directory’s checker recently confirmed it alive — the rest of Japan’s listings use formats or connections a browser blocks. And a station earns a glyph on the globe only when it also carries real coordinates — 128 playable stations here carry no reliable location, so they live in this list instead. Streams also die and move daily; a station that refuses to answer says so plainly below.

What Japan broadcasts
Of the playable stations, 13 lean pop, 2 lean classical, 2 lean jazz, 1 lean news-talk — the rest carry no genre we can honestly assign. Genre tags are the community’s, folded into seven families at bake time; unclassified is the normal, honest state.
