It's the opposite of what you're probably used to -- the doors do close automatically, but with a longer delay. The close door button, with the kanji that O Sora posted, actually does close the doors immediately instead of with a delay.
By the way, the other button is quite close -- this is open:
開
The difference is the オ

No it's not just you. Mayo pizza anyone?

FWIW - I did try spaghetti with a mayo based sauce once. But didn't try anything like that again (perhaps I might acquire a taste for it - but it would definitely take me more than 2-3 weeks!). Robyn

Sometimes the open and close buttons are color-coded. Red for close and green for open. Or is it green to close the doors and make the elevator go, and red to stop the elevator and open the doors? Now i'm confused.

Sometimes there will be an extra button with the open/close ones to hold the doors open until another button is pressed. Obviously, pressing and holding the open button or call button outside the elevator will also keep the doors open. People tend to be polite in Japan and do this for other users.
