For a physically fit person, is it possible to start early in the morning and climb during the day to summit and be back on ground by evening. What is the best way to do this? What is the best time to start and what is the best route to use for the climb? Thanks for anyone who can help in this matter. I have only a limited amount of time in Japan, so I’d really like to do this in a single day.

Yes, it is possible if you take the 1st bus in the morning that arrives at the 5th station. You should stay at either Fujiyoshida or in Kawaguchiko, and take the 1st local bus to the 5th station. For a good hiker, the only problem will be the altitude. Take warm and waterproof clothes for the top. You should do the loop of the crater at the top. A major advantage is that there aren't that many people in daytime. The Fujinomiya trail is recommended.
