I would have to say the easiest way to get around quickly is in a hire car. Most of the best viewing points are from the lakes and hill tops. The distances to each lake with public transport are far and not frequently available. Most tourist take a day trip from Tokyo but I would suggest an over night stay. This will give you a chance to catch a sunset and sunrise. Mountain weather can be very unpredictable so be prepared to have heavy cloud cover on Mt. Fuji. Here is a link to check live web cams in many key locations. I usually go in autumn or spring to capture the beautiful autumn leaves and cherry blossoms. There are many other points of interest to shoot so here are some suggestions worth exploring.
