Fuji Five Lakes and Fuji-Q Highland

Hello. I am wondering if it is possible to make a complete travel from Tokyo to Fuji Five Lakes by bus (with visiting all lakes) and then be in time to visit Fuji-Q Highland also. Are they close to each other?.. How much time does it take to travel from one lake to another? Can I do this on foot or the best way is to travel by bus?
If traveling by bus between lakes is more appropriate, then how much do bus tickets cost? What is more profitable - to buy Fuji Enjoy ticket or round trip ticket from Tokyo to Fuji and then local bus tickets to travel between lakes?..
And the last question about local weather. Does weather in Fuji Five Lakes area differs a lot from weather in Tokyo (these days, this week).
Thank you in advance.

You mean in one day? It depends how much of which lake you want to see, but really I'd suggest you need a whole day of one place. Oh and not all lakes are easily accessed. Have you read the page about it?

No, I didn't read a paper about access to the lakes. I think I should do it.
And as I learnt, the main trouble in Highlands is tremendous amount of people. So yes, the better way is to divide this trip into two days.

http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e6900.htmlYes, that was my experience of Fujikyu Highland. The queues for the big 4 rollercoasters were massive and we only had time for one of them (2.5hr wait time). That was September, a few months after the 4th one (Eejanaika?) opened, so hopefully it's not as busy now.

Thank you. So the question remains - should I buy Fujigoko Enjoy Ticket or the cheapest (and more or less convenient) way to see all lakes is just round-trip bus ticket from Shinjuku?
P.S. And can I buy Fujigoko enjoy ticket at Shinjuku Station the same day?

P. P. S. As far as I understand, Enjoy ticket provides you also opportunity to use buses between lakes for free. Am I right?..

Sorry but I don't have any personal experience with any of those passes as I went via the train using a JR Kanto Pass (now changed to Tokyo Wide Pass), one day to Kawaguchiko and another day to Yamanakako. When I went to Fujikyu Highland I had the pass that covers the bus and unlimited rides but it didn't turn out to be worthwhile because of the long queues. The Enjoy Ticket seems like it could be ideal, depending on what you want to see or do. What are you planning to see? Have a look at the access page http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e6905.html

I really suggest spending a full day at Fuji-Q highland to truly enjoy all the rides. Even though I went at 11am in early April last year when it wasn't terribly crowded, I only managed to ride 3 of the 4 major coasters before the park closed for the day!
