Hi, im traveling with my wife and two friends. We are coming from the US so im sure we will be tired. That said we travel quite a bitansd are somewhat used to being jetlaggedwhilee and still cramming in as much as we can for a trip.
The purpose of posting this itinerary is to get feedback on if anything seems like it would not be doable as well as suggestions on maybe some must do activities or events we should go to. Also, did we plan anything that maybe should be replaced for something better?
Thanks!

You can do both the pirate ship and the volcano. Iirc the pirate ship was literally how I got back to the bus stop from the volcano. You go up the eastern face to owakudani, down the western side to togendai view, south on the ship across the lake to motohakone port then a bus back to hakone station.
