Walk to Udonshuka Kamiya for a lighter snack or drink. It is open late, so you can linger as the golden light begins.

Head to the observatory of Hakata Port Tower. The view looks south toward the city and the museum, with the sun setting toward the WSW behind you. The walk from the nearby shops takes about 13 minutes, so start moving by minute -12.
Local tip
The walk from the food spots to the tower is straightforward but involves an incline. Check the route if you need specific directions. Hakata Port Tower is open until 22:00, so you have time to stay after the sunset.
