Tokyo shares ended the trading Monday higher on a weaker yen that boosted buying of export-related issues and a better U.S. economy data for the last quarter of 2015.
The 225-issue Nikkei Stock Average jumped 131.62 points, or 0. 77 percent, higher from Friday to 17,134.37.
The broader Topix index of all First Section issues on the Tokyo Stock Exchange was up 15.80 points, or 1.16 percent, at 1, 381.85.
Except mining issues, all shares on the main board gained ground and led by marine transport, warehousing and harbor transport service issues. The day's turnover was about 1,928.3 billion yen (around 16.97 billion U.S. dollars).
