Having been to Tokyo in April, I can say that they still certainly look like a station at ground level. The rail station entrance is always the most prominent entrance on a station building, with associated malls and office buildings being secondary.
Maybe tomh009 was referring to subway stations. The station in Roppongi Hills I remember being particularly difficult to both find and escape. (though that was at night, in the rain, so maybe my experience was a one-off).
Also: Oh man, have you tried the new 45deg view in Google Maps? Try that on Tokyo (maps.google.com, Tokyo. Satellite. Click the wee grid under the compass). It's amazing.
