Tokyo stocks closed lower on Monday as gains on a cheap yen were overwhelmed by profit-taking, with traders cautious ahead of US markets being closed for a national holiday.
The benchmark Nikkei 225 index lost 1.00 percent, or 335.66 points, to 33,370.42 while the broader Topix index ended down 0.43 percent, or 9.86 points, at 2,290.50.
