I live in Tokyo(and I am a very safe good girl--just look at my journal if you need proof!) and would love to help you with anything during Golden Week. Given, it is my first year here so I haven't experienced Golden Week myself, but I certainly know enough people that can give you expert advice.
Mt. Fuji isn't a bust per se, but it really depends upon what time of year you go. By the time you get here in Golden Week, it will already be pretty humid and I know it will be crowded as all get-out. So I would skip it until you can come in the winter time.
And Venus Fort! ODAIBA! Only one of my favorite places in Tokyo! There is a lot to do there, and some GREAT restaurants.
As for shopping, I don't know how tiny you are, but be warned: Japanese girls have VERY skinny legs. I am considered by American standards to be thin, but I do have womanly thighs (and I am a runner), and I cannot fit into Japanese pants--though sometimes I can fit into skirts. And while shirts can fit, sometimes they don't rest correctly on breasts, you know?
Accessories are a totally different story, however. There is a three coins shop (read: 315yen for ANYTHING) in DECKS over in Odaiba that you MUST check out. So cute!
I will be happy to tell you more, just buzz me over on my journal!
