TOKYO, June 4 (Xinhua) -- Tokyo stocks closed higher Monday as the market mood was brightened by U.S. non-farm payroll data released late last week coming in above median market expectations, with a weaker yen giving exports a boost.

The 225-issue Nikkei Stock Average gained 304.59 points, or 1.37 percent, from Friday to close the day at 22,475.94.

The broader Topix index of all First Section issues on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, meanwhile, added 25.52 points, or 1.46 percent, to finish at 1,774.69.

Transportation equipment, marine transportation and bank-oriented issues comprised those that gained the most by the close of play.
