All 379 passengers and crew on board were evacuated, but five of the six crew on the coastguard plane died, police said. The captain was injured.
Flames engulfed the airliner after it landed, skidding on the blazing runway.
Fire crews spent hours dousing the blaze. The airliner came from Sapporo on the northern island of Hokkaido.
Air safety experts have praised the crew for safely evacuating all the passengers. All four of Haneda’s runways were closed after the incident, disrupting travel plans for thousands of passengers.
Japan Airlines Flight 516 departed from Sapporo’s New Chitose airport at 16:00 local time (07:00 GMT) and landed at Haneda shortly before 18:00.
Video showed it bursting into flames as it sped down the runway after landing.
“I felt a boom like we had hit something and jerked upward the moment we landed,” one passenger told Kyodo news agency. “I saw sparks outside the window and the cabin filled with gas and smoke.”
