Previously, I tried going to Kawaguchiko (from Shinjuku station via Chuo line and then Fujikyu Railway), but the day turned foggy and we were stuck in a what seemed like a boring small town with nothing to do but try the local noodle dish and head home.
Any advice appreciated.
Not sure if it's your thing but you could go to Fuji-Q Highland. The risk of not being able to see Mt Fuji due to weather is the same as from Kawaguchiko but there's lots more to do in case you get stuck.
