Pick up fresh bread. This bakery opens early and is the closest option to the anchor, but arrive before the rush.

Walk up to Kakuzan Park. The 19-minute stroll from the museum gets you here in time to explore the castle ruins while the sky is still bright. Check the view toward the WSW as the sun begins its descent.
17:14
Watch the sunset. The sun sets toward the WSW, offering a clear view from the park ruins. Stay for the golden light fading into twilight.

Head to Namakuraya for a snack. It is a short walk from the park and serves the city's famous sweet senbei. It is a perfect way to taste a local specialty while the evening air cools down.

Finish the night with dinner at Mugiwarabosi. Try the Tsuyama Burger, a local favorite served with a distinctive sweet sauce. It is open late enough to enjoy a relaxed evening meal.
Local tip
The senbei at Namakuraya comes in plain, glazed, and yuzu-glazed varieties. The yuzu-glazed offers a bright contrast to the sweet rice crackers.
