Fifth station is kind of interesting, depending on your perspective. Where I come from we just don't have mountains, so if I didn't have a chance to climb Fuji-san, I think I might consider your plan. The air is distinctly thinner, which I thought was cool (until I started climbing, anyway). If the weather was good, you could take a little stroll around. There is a little shrine, and several souvenir shops. The toilets are... unspeakable, since there's no running water. I think the other poster's suggestion sounds lovely. I haven't visited the lakes around Fuji but they look gorgeous. There are also some other attractions in the area such as Fuji-Highland safari park and amusements. I also imagine it would be cheaper to visit the Fuji area than to take the Fujikyu bus if you're not interested in climbing.
