Tokyo shares shrugged off earlier losses and closed higher on Friday after the Bank of Japan said it would maintain its long-standing, ultra-loose monetary policy.
The benchmark Nikkei 225 index climbed 0.66 percent, or 220.59 points, to end at 33,706.08, while the broader Topix index added 0.28 percent, or 6.39 points, to 2,300.36.
