Simpang Renggam
Spend a half‑day in Simpang Renggam: explore the market, visit Aw Pottery Studio and grab a meal; stay overnight if you need rest before heading to Kluang or Johor Bahru.
Simpang Renggam is a small town on the North‑South Expressway in Johor. Its attractions are limited to a few markets, a pottery studio and local eateries, so a single half‑day visit covers the highlights. Overnight accommodation is cheap and useful if you are traveling onward to Kluang or Johor Bahru.
