Nokia will be completely out of the Japanese mobile phone market in late August, the Nikkei reported.
According to the Nikkei report, the handset from the Finnish company had stopped supplying cell phones to Japan since 2008.
Nokia will close stores high-end Vertu handsets in the district of Shibuya and Ginza, Tokyo in late July. Vertu business has been struggling with the rising popularity of smartphones.
Nokia service operated by leasing the network infrastructure of NTT DoCoMo Inc. will be terminated because the contract expires in August, the daily said.
Nokia, based in Tokyo will remain open until the end of the year to handle refunds and other matters.
Vertu handset sells for ¥ 600,000 ($ 7.450) - 20 million yen ($ 248,354) per unit, with some models of precious metals or decorated with traditional designs lacquer Japan, the Nikkei reported.
Nokia has been restructured due to a worsening of income since the advent of Apple Inc's iPhone and other smartphones, as quoted by Reuters.
