The Nikkei 225 Index rose more than 1% to above 54,000 while the broader Topix Index gained 0.9% to 3,598 on Monday, recouping losses from last week as the yen weakened sharply, boosting the outlook for Japan's export-heavy economy.
The local currency dropped more than 1% on Friday as the dollar strengthened after US President Donald Trump nominated Kevin Warsh to become the next Fed chairman, given his preference for a smaller balance sheet.
Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi also stated over the weekend that a weak yen can be a huge opportunity for export industries and provide a buffer for the automobile industry in the face of US tariffs.
Carmakers advanced, including Toyota (3.3%), Honda (1.8%) and Nissan (2%).
Other index heavyweights also posted strong gains such as Advantest (1.3%), Fujikura (3.8%) and Mitsubishi UFJ (1.4%).
