Walk to Shimonoseki Municipal Archaeological Museum. The grounds are open at 09:30, giving you a chance to see the Kofun-era mounds and pit dwellings in the morning light before the heat of the day.
Local tip
The beach is the only viewing spot with a short walk (21 minutes) from the museum and a clear WSW view for sunrise. No food shops are listed nearby, so plan to eat after 09:30 when the museum area is active.
