How do I get to Mt. Fuji? (from Tokyo)
Several options, and it depends on which city you're coming from. I was coming from Tokyo so the best deal for me was the JR Fuji pass.

| JR Fuji Pass |
The pass costs ¥5,600 and can be used for 2 consecutive days. Cheapest I found if you did it on your own is ¥7,020 not including getting to Shinjuku station. Basically this is what it includes.
Day 1 (Going to Fuji)
1. Train ride on all JR trains within Tokyo. This will help you get to Shinjuku station where you board the Limited Express train bound for Otsuki.
2. Train ride on Limited Express trains going to Otsuki station where you will take the Fujisan Express.
