A central Johor town built on rubber and palm oil, and the home of Kluang Rail Coffee, a kopitiam that has run at the railway station since 1938. Add a morning hike up Gunung Lambak and a farm visit outside town, and it's an easy stop on the drive south.

Good to know

  • Kluang Rail Coffee has other branches now. The one in the old station is the original.
  • Weekends at the kopitiam get busy, so go early.

Last checked October 2026. Things change, so check opening times, fees and transport before you go.
