Finally found some time to continue my post on our Perak & Pahang Roadtrip. This one’s gonna be about the famous Berjaya Hills Japanese and French Village. I did not know this place existed until a few weeks back when a friend suggested that we go and check out this place. We were already at Genting Highlands early that morning. After getting some directions form a Taxi driver. We continued heading towards Bukit Tinggi (Or rather heading towards Bentong).

You have to go all the way down to the base of Genting Highlands and head towards Kuantan. Then look out for signs to Bentong. After roughly 15minutes ride, you’ll see the Bukit Tinggi (or sometimes mentioned as Berjaya Hills) sign. We made a mistake earlier by entering the first sign that said Bukit Tinggi, this is probably the old town. Rather you should only turn left when you see the Berjaya Hills sign.

It’s quite a curvy road way up. Not as high as Genting, but the weather up there is slightly cold and humid. We were charged RM10 per person to enter the peak, where the Japanese Village was located. We had to park the car at a parking spot and continue walking up a steep hill. Wow, it was steep indeed.

At the top, the first thing we did was to get some Ice-Cream to cool us down. After that we visited the area where the Tea Ceremony is held. Two of my good friends decided to rent out the Kimono for photography. It was too hot for me so I refused to try on the Samurai and decided to just take photographs.

We were here for about an hour. This place closes at 6pm so do plan your trip properly. After the Japanese Garden, we headed towards the French Village. All the hotels, restaurants and so on were in the French Village style. Very old school and ancient building. Also available were fun fair games, a game arcade, a snooker centre and a couple of restaurant. There was a drawbridge that led to a castle look-alike building. Under that was the pool where 2 pair of swan reside. The french village is quite authentic and beautiful. A nice place for photography.
