Visit the Kitchoan Museum. The galleries are open until 17:00, so you have time to see the bizen-yaki and Rosanjin pieces before the light changes. Check the route from Okayama Station if you are starting from there.

Step out of the museum and find a quiet spot nearby. There are no food shops listed in the immediate vicinity, so bring a small snack or drink with you to enjoy as the golden hour approaches.

Watch the golden light hit the museum grounds. The sun sets toward the WNW around 18:35, casting a warm glow over the ceramics and the building itself.
18:31
End your evening by returning to the museum entrance or the nearby bus stop. The museum closes at 17:00, so you will be outside as it gets dark. Check the route back to Okayama Station.
