with which company are you flying with? with JAL, i had the option of having a 5 days "lay-over" so i can enjoy the city without paying extra air faire.
Mount Fuji seems like an obvious choice. In 12h, you can probably only go to the touristy bits...
If not, check on Speedhunters for some gnarly speedshops and go there!
I have a lay over in Tokyo, and i have to go from Narita to Haneda and i have 12 hours... in mid-december.
What should i absolutely see in Tokyo in 12 hours during the day ? (6 am to 6 pm ! )
Thanks!

Hakone and Nikko are better places to visit if you want to see mountains areas around Tokyo. Mt Fuji is only good at the end of summer: the best period of time to climb it.
Hakone is closer than Mt Fuji from Tokyo and Nikko is around 2hrs to get there from Tokyo.
You also see Mount Fiji very well from Hakone but I would not go there on a layover, even less so Nikko (been to both).
