Hi,
Most economical way to visit Mt. Fuji (5 th station) from Tokyo (Shinjuku station) on a day trip? Is there a JR bullet train that goes to the 5th station or close to it? or is a direct bus the best way?
Or am I better off purchasing an all inclusive day tour package to Mt. Fuji from a tour operator?
Any advice or comments would be appreciated.
Thank you in advance for your assistance.

We did this but with a tour and it was 2 full day and totally worth it because someone else handled the transportation.
We were picked up from our hotel in Tokyo, then went to Mt. Fuji 5th station, lunch on the tour, Owakadani valley with cable car ride, cruise on Lake Ashi then night in a Japanese onsen in hakone - then the next day we left at like 1100 and tour dropped us off in Kyoto but I'm sure there are tours to drop you off in tokyo.
The tour we went with was with JTB/ Sunrise tours

The easiest way to get to mount Fuji is to take the express bus from the Shenjuku station in Tokyo. The last returning bus leaves around 3 so if you're planning a day trip up and back factor that in. My wife and I didn't know that and ended up having to pay for a cab back to Tokyo.

The site for booking Shinjuku Station bus is japanese only. I booked this week ( asking my japanese friend to do it for me), and lots of buses are already completely booked (especially Friday to Sunday)

If the bus is not booked out, you can make reservations just before boarding at the bus terminal.
Some buses get booked out, others don't. Weekends and the Obon week in mid August are more busy than weekdays.
For today (Friday), for example, all buses still have some vacant seats available.
