The 225-issue Nikkei Stock Average ended down 106.47 points, or 0.67 percent, from Monday at 15,669.33.
The broader Topix index of all First Section issues on the Tokyo Stock Exchange finished 5.33 points, or 0.42 percent, lower at 1,256.64.
Decliners were led by fishery, agriculture and forestry, machinery, and insurance issues.
