Japanese media reported earlier in the day that this appeared to be a civilian airplane.
The ministry said the plane entered Japan's airspace twice within 30 minutes in the early hours of Sunday.
The ministry's press release includes a photo of the plane that was taken off a Japanese fighter scrambled to escort the Russian aircraft out of the Japanese airspace.
Tokyo also sent a request to Russia through diplomatic channels to prevent such incidents in the future.
