Grab a yakitori skewer or a drink at Yakiniku Hachihachi. It opens at 16:00, so you will be there an hour before the sun dips below the horizon. The atmosphere is relaxed and perfect for settling in before the main event.

Itazuke Ruins Yayoi-kan Museum
Walk to the Itazuke Ruins Yayoi-kan Museum. The reconstructed houses and ancient rice paddies look striking in the fading light. Find a spot near the open fields where the western sky is visible.

Itazuke Ruins Yayoi-kan Museum
Watch the sunset. The sun sets toward the WSW, casting long shadows across the archaeological site. The golden light from 16:55 will have just peaked, giving the ruins a warm, historical glow before the sky turns blue.
18:17
Head back to Yakiniku Hachihachi for dinner. The evening crowds are small, and the grilled meat is a satisfying end to a walk through history. The restaurant stays open until 01:00, so there is no rush.
Local tip
The walk from the museum to Yakiniku Hachihachi is short and straightforward. If you prefer a different drink before the sunset, 燒肉 多牛 is also nearby and open from 17:30, but Yakiniku Hachihachi allows you to arrive earlier for a pre-sunset snack.
