美濃の国長良川にのぞんで水楼あり。あるじを賀島氏といふ。稲葉山うしろに高く、乱山西にかさなりて、近からず遠からず。田中の寺は杉のひとむらに隠れ、岸にそふ民家は竹の囲みの緑も深し。さらし布ところどころに引きはへて*、右に渡し舟うかぶ。里人の行きかひしげく、漁村軒をならべて、網をひき釣をたるるおのがさまざまも、ただこの楼をもてなすに似たり。暮れがたき夏の日も忘るるばかり、入日の影も月にかはりて、波にむすぼるるかがり火の影もやや近く、高欄のもとに鵜飼するなど、まことに目ざましき見ものなりけらし。
かの瀟湘の八つの眺め、西湖の十のさかひも、涼風一味*のうちに思ひこめたり。もしこの楼に名を言はむとならば、「十八楼」とも言はまほしや。
このあたり目に見ゆるものは皆涼し
kono atari me ni miyuru mono wa mina suzushi

In Mino there is a stately mansion facing the Nagara River whose owner is named Kashima. Behind it tower the Inaba mountains and to the west a disturbance of mountains cluster together, neither close by nor far away.
A temple in the rice fields is hidden by a stand of cryptomeria and bamboo surrounding the homes along the river bank is deep green.
Here and there bleached cloth is streched out to dry, and to the right a ferry boat floats by. The townsfolk busily go back and forth, the eaves of this fishing village are lined up close together, and fishermen are pulling in the nets and dangling fishing lines. All this seems to enhance for the viewer the enjoyment of the scene.
Enchanted, I forget the summer day, which seems to hold off the coming dark. The light of the setting sun changes into the moon; the light of the fishing fires, too, formed on the waves, slowly approaches. The cormorant fishing under the high railing is a truly striking spectacle. The eight views of the Xiao River and the ten sites of the Xiang River are experienced together in the one flavor of the cool wind.
If I were to give a name to this mansion, I might call it the Eighteen View Manor.

In the cool breeze, I find the famous Eight Views of Hsiao-hsiang ant the Ten Sights of West Lake. If one were to give thsi tower a name, Eighteen Sights would be appropriate.

Even among the shrilling of the cicadas suddenly the bell can be heard reveberating.

Inabayama Castle 稲葉山城- Renamed by Nobunaga as 岐阜城 Gifu Castle
This castle had been build by Saitoo Doosan 斎藤道三 Saito Dosan.
quote
The Siege of Inabayama Castle (稲葉山城の戦い, Inabayama-jō no Tatakai) of 1567 was the final battle in Oda Nobunaga's campaign to defeat the Saitō clan in their mountaintop castle and conquer Mino Province, Japan. It was a short two-week siege, fought between 13 and 27 September 1567, or in the Japanese calendar: from the 1st to 15th day of the 8th month, in the 10th year of the Eiroku era, according to the Nobunaga Chronicle.
The siege ended in a decisive battle and victory of Nobunaga's combined forces, and resulted in the subjugation of the Saitō clan, their vassals, and allies. This victory was the culmination of Nobunaga's Mino campaign, waged intermittently over the previous six years, and brought an end to a rivalry between the Oda clan of Owari province and the Saitō clan of Mino, which began over twenty years earlier between Nobunaga's father, Oda Nobuhide and Saitō Dōsan.
