TOKYO, June 13 (Xinhua) -- Tokyo stocks closed higher Wednesday as a weaker yen lifted exporter issues, although some investors sat on the fence ahead of the outcome of the U.S. Federal Reserve's monetary policy meeting.
The 225-issue Nikkei Stock Average gained 88.03 points, or 0.38 percent, from Tuesday to close the day at 22,966.38.
The broader Topix index of all First Section issues on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, meanwhile, added 7.55 points, or 0.42 percent, to finish at 1,800.37.
Marine transportation, real estate and service-oriented issues comprised those that gained the most by the close of play.
