Tokyo stocks fell Tuesday morning as sentiment was dampened by lingering wariness over further interest rate hikes in the United States.
The 225-issue Nikkei Stock Average dropped 298.77 points, or 0.91 percent, from Monday to 32,379.85. The broader Topix index was down 11.69 points, or 0.49 percent, at 2,373.81.
On the top-tier Prime Market, decliners were led by transportation equipment, electric appliance and machinery issues.
