Segamat
Spend a half‑day at the town’s parks and market; add a night in a budget hotel if you want a relaxed pace.
Segamat is a small Johor town with easy road, bus and ETS train links. Its main attractions are a few parks, a public market and local fruit stalls. One full day covers the sights; a second night lets you explore nearby Gunung Ledang or relax.
