Just wondering if all of this is doable. Also could someone double check the route from Odawara to Kawaguchiko.
Additionally, I also hear that the Fuji Ropeway waiting times can be very long. Should I expect 45 minute wait times at 10am in January?
note: I also plan to purchase the Fuji-Hakone free pass.
