report on behalf of MITSuME and OISTER collaboration:

We observed the field of GRB 170903A (Markwardt et al., GCNC 21793)
with the optical three color (g', Rc and Ic) CCD camera attached
to the MITSuME 50cm telescope of Okayama Astrophysical Observatory.

The observation started on 2017-09-03 12:49:43 UT (~35 sec after
the burst). We did not find any new point source within the
enhanced XRT error circle (Goad et al., GCNC 21797) in all
the three bands.

Three sigma upper limits of the OT are listed below.
We used SDSS-DR8 catalog for flux calibration.
