  In my travels of japan and during the time I lived there I only saw the station attendants pushing people in once. What's more common though is for people to simply walk back slowly shuffling and pushing people to make room as they creep into the door. This happens even when the train is completely packed. No one speaks and everyone looks for a blank spot in the distance that they can look at without making eye contact. It's not uncommon for the doors to not be able to close because someone's bag or clothes get stuck lol.

  Considering how crammed up they all get every day, most people are very well natured on the trains. You find that once people are in stations however, they are much more impatient and more likely to knock you..
