You want to go to mount Fuji or view mount Fuji? There's tours that does both from Klook. Can diy also.

There's clear view of mount Fuji 90 days in a year. Other days obscured by cloud and rain.

Depends on how much time u have to spare for mount fuji.
If 1 day, definitely tour.

if more than one day, then take trains or bus and then rent a car once at fuji. (preferably 3 days 2 nights for 1st timer to take it slow). I'd avoid the 3 caves. (wind , ice, bat)

Ive personally only used the bus method to get there and back, from shinjuku express bus terminal level 4. they have quite a number of buses a day. but still better to book ahead. travel time one way via bus is about 2-3 hrs. (duration depends on whether got jam or not) and can only bring 1 luggage per person (put in bus trunk) + carry-on bag.

I would recommend you to go gotemba premium outlet for the Mt Fuji view. https://japantoday.com/category/features/travel/gotemba-shopping-with-a-view-of-mount-fuji

5-6 hours gone just to commute between Shinjuku and Mt Fuji? add in if during winter time less day light, basically is very rush right?

if 1 day, yes. quite rush. see 1 or 2 places and zao. if 2 days, not so bad. but if 2 days and staying over at fuji, might as well just stay 1 more extra day (3d2n) and take it slower.

i can only comment from my first beginner trip, dun trip from tokyo the toll will kill u. This i spend a total of 400 for 3 days use of a car inclusive of toll and petrol

Take a train to midpoint and rental a car

I can't accurately tell u. You'll have to check websites like willer express and Japan bus online for the date u r intending to go/return. Also subject to availability. If taking bus, Book early, don't assume have bus everyday at all timeslots on the day itself.

I don’t know which part of Mt. Fuji you’re going to. Be more specific.

Direct bus to Kawaguchiko.
https://bus.fujikyu.co.jp/highway/detail/id/8

Else just take train to Tokyo/Shinjuku station and take direct bus/train.

If Hakone, take Odakyu train from Shinjuku.

If pockets deep, book day tour via bus.

Lots of info on Japan Guide.
