多くの城には時報、門の開閉などの命令伝達、敵の攻撃時に城へ警告をする太鼓楼があった。 古地図と記録に、この18×10メートルの敷地にある岐阜城の太鼓楼が記されている。ここでは、渓谷下方の素晴らしい景色の眺望ができる。

Many castles had a drum tower that was used for timekeeping, conveying orders like the opening and closing of gates, and warning the castle in times of attack. Old maps and records show the Gifu Castle drum tower on this 18-by-10-meter site, where it commanded a fine view of the valley below and could be heard clearly across the fortified mountain.
