Odawara is the nearest Shinkansen station, but it's still around 2 hours minimum to Lake Ashi from there. You can do a rushed tour of the Hakone area in a day, but it's better to stay overnight (search for Gora Kadan for everybody's favorite swanky ryokan).

But, as said, don't set your expectations too high because the odds of seeing Mt. Fuji just aren't that good.
