A Japan Airlines aircraft caught fire upon landing at Tokyo's Haneda airport on Tuesday evening.
Footage on broadcaster NHK displayed flames emerging from both the windows and beneath the plane, with the runway itself ablaze.
The plane, which had taken off from Sapporo, collided with a coast guard plane, NHK said, citing authorities.
All 379 passengers and crew on board were evacuated, media reports quoted the airline as saying.
"We are currently assessing the extent of the damage," the airline said, according to an NHK report.
The plane, Japan Airlines Flight 516, departed from New Chitose airport at 16:00 local time (07:00 GMT) and was scheduled to land at Haneda at 17:40.
