The 20-year-old Olympic and world champion led all the way to win with an overall total of 288.16 -- almost 35 points ahead of his Spanish training partner Javier Fernandez who took silver with 253.90.
Russia's Sergei Voronov won bronze with 244.53.
"I felt happiness at being able to use my body fully," said Hanyu, who suffered serious head injuries after a collision with another competitor last month.
"My team really supported me and I got so many messages from fans all over the world. I really wanted to send them a message of gratitude today."
Hanyu opened with back-to-back quad jumps in his free skate to Andrew Lloyd Webber's 'The Phantom of the Opera' and also hit six triples.
But tiredness took its toll towards the end of the programme as he fell on his final triple lutz which he also had problems with in practice.
"I was exhausted, I tried to move my body and couldn't," explained Hanyu, who scored 194.08 for the free skate but remained cautious at saying he was back to his best.
"I only had a week since the NHK Trophy. I still have to add a quad toeloop in the second half of my programme so it's a work in progress."
Japanese hopes of a 1-2 were crushed when Tatsuki Machida dropped from second to last after an error-strewn free skate.
Fernandez, 23, who trains with Hanyu under Canadian coach Brian Orser in Toronto, moved up from fifth to the delight of the home fans for his skate to Rossini's 'Barber of Seville'.
"These guys (Hanyu and Voronov) are used to competing at home. It was the first time for me and it was a shock," said Fernandez.
- Russia top women's podium -
Tuktamysheva, 17, meanwhile, put Russia back on top of the women's podium for the first time in ten years.
She took the gold ahead of 15-year-old Elena Radionova, with American Ashley Wagner, 23, spoiling hopes of an historic Russian sweep as she moved up from last to third.
Tuktamysheva, gave a strong free skate to 'Batwannis Beek' and 'Sandstorm' which gave her a new personal best 136.06 points and overall total of 204.58.
"I'm a little bit surprised that I was able to skate completely clean for the first time this season," said Tuktamysheva who complained of illness before competing.
She landed seven triple jumps including three in combination with other jumps, also scoring high for skating skills, footwork and choreography.
Russians Anna Pogorilaya and Julia Lipnitskaya were fourth and fifth and Japan's Rika Hongo last in the six-woman field.
Kaitlyn Weaver and Andrew Poje won their first ice dancing title as fellow Canadians Meagan Duhamel and Eric Radford won pairs gold on their fourth attempt.
Weaver, 25, and Poje, 27, achieved career best scores across the board which they capped with a seamless free skate to Vivaldi's 'Four Seasons'.
They scored 109.80 for the free skate and 181.14 overall.
Americans Madison Chock and Evan Bates, looking to follow compatriots -- Olympic champions Meryl Davis and Charlie White -- the holders of a record five consecutive titles since 2009, took silver with 167.09 overall.
France's Gabriella Papadakis and Guillaume Cizeron moved up from fifth after the short dance to take bronze in the first Grand Prix final (162.39).
The elite of figure skating will compete at the world championships in Shanghai from March 23-29.
