Hiking
Stefan is absolutely right, if you're already there, you shouldn't miss the chance to walk around the crater. You'll pass the actual summit of Mt. Fuji, which is to the west. Definitely walk around the crater clockwise, as the ascent to the summit is quite steep and is better managed on the way up. Once at the top, you have to join the queue that leads to the summit pillar. Depending on how busy it is, this can take about 30 minutes of waiting time.

Japan's highest point at 3,776 meters. It's a 30-minute walk from the trailhead, but since you're already there... The route back to the trailhead for the descent is the same length, so it's best to do it all round!
