Japanese stocks fell on Tuesday even after euro area finance ministers agreed to a 130 billion euro Greek bailout.
The Nikkei 225 shed 0.23%, or 22.07 points, to 9,463.02. The broader Topix erased 0.33%, or 2.74, to 816.29.
"There's consensus that Greece is in a tough situation and its outlook is gloomy," said Takeru Ogihara, chief strategist in Tokyo at Mizuho Trust & Banking Co., a unit of Japan's third-largest lender by market value.
"The markets had priced in the bailout agreement to a degree, and we are seeing profit-taking after the event."
