Pick up a sweet Tsuyama Senbei from Namakuraya. The shop is open from 09:00 to 18:00, so you have plenty of time to grab a snack before the sun goes down.
16:44
Walk from the snack shop to Kakuzan Park. The park contains the ruins of Tsuyama Castle, once considered the most spectacular in Japan. Arrive early enough to find a good spot among the stone walls and moats.

Watch the sun set toward the WSW. The golden light begins around 16:36, bathing the castle ruins in a warm glow before the sun dips below the horizon at 17:14.
17:44
End your evening at Bar Ritz. It is a short walk from the park and offers a cozy spot to enjoy a drink, pizza, or garlic toast as the night settles in.
