Eat tonkotsu ramen at Ichiran. The single-file booths let you focus on the rich broth while the city buzzes outside. It is open 24 hours, so you can go anytime.
16:47
Walk up to Hakata Port Tower. The observatory is 70 meters above ground, offering a clear view of the port and the streets of Fukuoka as the light begins to fade.
17:32
Watch the sunset. On this date the sun sets toward the WSW at 17:32. The golden light starts about 16:55, so you will have about 20 minutes of warm light before the sun disappears.
18:17
End the evening at Morris' Hippo. This pub is just a short walk away and stays open late. On weekdays it closes at 01:00, and on weekends at 02:00.
Local tip
The walk from the theatre area to the port tower takes about 20 minutes. If you are short on time, skip the observatory and find a spot along the pier for a direct view of the sunset.
