report on behalf of the MITSuME collaboration:

We searched for the optical counterpart of GRB 180316A (A. Melandri  et
al., GCN Circular #22500) with the optical three color (g', Rc, and Ic) CCD
cameras attached to the MITSuME 50 cm telescope of Akeno Observatory,
Yamanashi, Japan.

The observation started on 16:39:08 UT. We did not find any new point
source within enhanced XRT circle (P.A. Evans et al., GCN Circular #22508)
in all three bands.
We obtained following limits for the magnitudes.

We used GSC2.3 catalog for flux calibration.
