Last time I was in Japan (a couple of months ago) I learned that at some stations they actually sell a station-access-only ticket (~JPY200 for a few hours IIRC) for people who want to go in to meet someone or to use the shops.

Ah, nice. Might be something new, unless I missed in 2 years ago when I was there last time.

Oh, if you use a Suica card the system still gets confused. So they haven't really fixed your problem. Also, the notion of paying for access purely to a rail platform was super foreign to me...

I guess that's how they can keep the place reasonably clear and moving along.
