[2025 Bentong Attraction] Travel Guide for Japanese Garden (Updated Apr)

#gentingtrip During my Genting Highlands trip, I explored the Japanese Village hidden in the hills near Colmar Tropicale—and it felt like entering another world. The moment I stepped through the traditional wooden gate, I was greeted by misty air, stone paths, and a calming silence that instantly brought peace to my mind. Surrounded by lush greenery and gentle streams, every turn revealed a new scenic corner that looked like a real-life postcard. I loved walking over little bridges, passing zen gardens, and seeing traditional Japanese tea houses tucked into the hills. The fog that rolled through the trees made everything feel so serene and magical. It’s the perfect place to take a deep breath, slow down, and enjoy nature’s calm. Whether you're into nature walks, photography, or just want a quiet moment, this Japanese Village is a hidden gem worth adding to your Genting itinerary.

#gentingtrip Tucked away in the misty hills of Bukit Tinggi, I found a slice of Japan I didn’t know I needed. 🌿 8:30 AM — After winding up the mountain roads (windows down, cool breeze, Taylor Swift on repeat 🎶), I reached the Japanese Village. First thing I noticed? The silence. It’s the kind that wraps around you like a warm cup of matcha. 💚 Stone paths led me through bamboo groves and koi-filled ponds. Everything was picture-perfect — tiny bridges, mossy rocks, and even a little waterfall that sounded like a lullaby. I swear the air smelled like green tea and rain. 🍵☔ Funny moment? I tried the kimono rental experience — let’s just say I now know the struggle of walking gracefully in wooden slippers. 😂 Spoiler: I failed. But it was totally worth it for the photos under the sakura-style archways. 📸 Hidden gem: Climb a bit higher past the garden to discover a quiet teahouse nook with barely any visitors. I sat there, breathing in the mountain mist and feeling like a Studio Ghibli side character waiting for something magical to happen. 🐾🍃 10:00 AM — Ended the visit with a stroll through the Botanical Garden just next door. Flowers, herbs, and butterflies everywhere — like nature’s own zen playlist. ⸻ 🌸 Mini Itinerary: 8:00 AM — Drive up Bukit Tinggi (Colmar Tropicale entrance) 8:30 AM — Explore Japanese Garden & koi ponds 9:15 AM — Kimono dress-up + photo ops 9:45 AM — Teahouse chill spot & quiet time 10:00 AM — Botanical Garden walk ⸻ 🌿 Quick Tips: • Bring a light jacket — it’s cooler up there. • Kimono rental is RM20–RM30; worth it for the full experience! • Go early to avoid the tourist crowd and get that peaceful vibe. ⸻ Peaceful.
