I made a whole website about why you should do that. Dewasanzan.com! Best to come between July and September, and September is the best out of those, so you can visit all three peaks :)

Interesting article title. The history up here always fascinates me. Indeed, the rebellious and independent nature of the region passed down through generations is what makes it special. The winners (Kyoto) had written its history, but I sometimes think the “barbarians” actually influenced Japanese culture more than we actually know or even understand.
