Labis
Skip Labis unless you need a quiet stop on the Johor rail line or want a hot spring and jungle trek: half a day is enough.
Labis is a small town in Johor's Segamat District, known for its hot spring and Taka Melor Amenity Forest. Most travellers pass through on the train between Gemas and Johor Bahru. The town itself has a square, a mosque and a market, but no major sights that justify a dedicated trip.
