Watch the sun dip below the horizon toward the WSW. The sky turns from blue to orange as the light fades over the landscape.

Head down the hill to Takataya for a late dinner. This smoky yakitoriya in the back alleys serves fantastic grilled chicken kebabs at reasonable prices.
Local tip
The park is a 22-minute walk from the swimming pool. If you are coming from the Bikan area, allow extra time for the climb. Takataya has no English menu, so point to what you want or bring a photo.
