【世界遺産マラッカ】深夜特急の舞台🇲🇾シンガポールから国境越えてマレーシアへ！憧れの夕陽を求めて🌇海外旅Vlog｜マレーシア旅行｜バケットリストを叶える旅

One of the 100 things I want to do in life
“Watch the sunset at the World Heritage site of Malacca” After spending 5 days in Singapore
I’m moving to Malaysia starting today My dream of traversing the Malay Peninsula
My 10-day journey through Malaysia begins We’ll travel overland using buses, cars, and trains
and return to Japan from Kuala Lumpur. First, we head to the bus terminal to board the bus to Malaysia. We head to Exit A at Bugis Station. Exit A and turn left. When you see the Arab Street sign, turn left. Honestly, walking with luggage is tough… especially under the blazing sun (29°C) I’m drenched in sweat Okay, this must be the place, right?
This is it, right? Ah, there it is! We booked the 707 bus through Klook,
so we’ll exchange our tickets here. This is the bus going directly to Malacca. We exchange these tickets for boarding passes.
Check-in is 15 minutes before departure. I arrived around 9:05, so I made it in time.
I’ll be taking the 9:30 bus. The number below here is apparently the bus number. These are the seat numbers: 2B and 1C. Looks like that bus. Now I’ll be crossing the border by bus to head to Malacca, Malaysia. 9707 Boarding Entry into Malaysia requires registering a Digital Arrival Card up to 3 days before arrival. I completed the registration last night at the hotel. The seats are spacious with plenty of legroom and clean. More and more people are boarding, now about 80% full Type A charging outlets are fully equipped inside With footrests and leg rests included,
it’s comfortable even for long-distance travel. We got off the bus once to scan our passports
and complete departure procedures. Next, we got off again to complete immigration procedures. We crossed over to the Malay Peninsula side. For immigration, we got off carrying all our luggage.
We scanned our passports at the automated gate and passed through baggage security screening. This is the Malaysian border.
We’ve entered the country. ＼ Melaka Sentral ／ We arrived in 4 hours!
They said it would take 5.5 hours, but we made it in 4. It was cold on the bus and I couldn’t sleep much, so if anyone’s planning the same route, I recommend bringing something long-sleeved. It was pretty chilly. Alright, since we arrived a bit early, I’ll look around this bus station area,
and maybe grab some food. Check-in isn’t open yet, so I’ll kill some time. They sell quite a few of these hijab-like head coverings here. Huh, 5 ringgit?
Right now 1 ringgit is about 35 yen, so roughly 175 yen? That’s super cheap. Ringsgit is kinda a pain to calculate… Wow, it’s all Malay food… Should we just go to McDonald’s? I just ordered something like a mushroom burger at McDonald’s. This is seriously delicious!
It looked kinda messy though It’s super tasty ♡
There are mushrooms in between If anyone comes to Malaysia, try it out
Mushroom something lol It was pretty high up on the menu,
so I guess it’s a popular item. Since most dishes are halal,
it’s mostly chicken menus. Good choice
This is delicious ♩ Calling a Grab to head back to the hotel Spacious and simple room It’s flickering It’s just a shower, but
Well, it’s clean though It’s really flickering…
Sorry about that We’re staying here for one night
We got a late checkout until 4:00 PM Looks like we can take it easy sightseeing tomorrow too It’s the best location with a panoramic view of the World Heritage city of Malacca and the Strait of Malacca. The welcome gifts arrived. A fruit platter and jarred cookies.
Such thoughtful hospitality is appreciated. I’m tired, so I’ll take a little nap. The sky suddenly changed color and it started raining… And today was my only chance to see the sunset… I offer a prayer to the clear patch over there I can’t let go of my desire to see Malacca’s sunset
Though the rain hasn’t stopped, I’ll head to the Strait of Malacca Sunset is around 19:00, so I wanted to arrive by 17:30, but I couldn’t get a Grab for a while and waited about 20 minutes Malacca town feels more vibrant than I imagined
Strolling around looks fun ♩ Entry is free but has set visiting hours There’s a dress code to enter the mosque (for both men and women) – hijabs are mandatory, so we rented them at the entrance. The outfit was very easy to move in, but the neck area felt a bit itchy (lol).
You couldn’t choose the color, so I wish I’d bought one beforehand. Miraculously, the rain stopped when we arrived.
I really am blessed with good weather. Sunset has already begun… No shoes allowed, so I enter barefoot. The mosque is a sacred place; I tour it with respect. The sunset viewpoint is on the cliff across the bay,
but there’s not enough time left before sunset… But can’t we see the sunset from the mosque?
Maybe this time of year, the mosque is actually the best spot. Wow! Amazing Amazing Definitely
(Malacca’s sunset is amazing) The Malacca Strait dyed orange is too beautiful As it dyed the surroundings orange, a little light began to peek through the gaps in the clouds. Will the sun show its face… My long-held dream is here at last “The sunset sinking into the Strait of Malacca is incredibly large and red.”
A passage from a book brought me here Though the sky was unfortunately overcast
I was filled with awe at the breathtakingly beautiful sunset The sunset in Malacca was undeniably beautiful The sun has set, but let’s try crossing to the other shore Finally, let’s take a photo in front of the Malacca Strait Mosque before heading back. The call to prayer, the “Adhan,” announcing the Islamic prayer times.
The sound of the Adhan is very soothing and I like it. Guided by the adhan, Muslims head to prayer. A wonderful moment filled with exotic charm. Returning the costume Returned them Basically, everyone probably gets dressed in them.
You can’t enter in regular clothes. This is the sunset spot on Google Maps, but the sun was setting right behind the building, so we watched the sunset from inside the building. I think that was the right call. The sunset is over, but I want to see the lights from this side before heading back. Wow~ It’s beautiful~ So glad I came to Malacca It was incredibly beautiful! My most memorable moments in Malacca are encapsulated in the sunset times spent here. Alright, let’s head back. To reach the cliff top, you have to climb up the sandy slope.
The sand makes it slippery underfoot, so be especially careful on the way down. It’s a deserted area, so it’s hard to get a Grab. Heading to a restaurant via Grab. Having dinner at a popular Nyonya cuisine restaurant. Since it’s a Muslim area, local restaurants generally don’t serve alcohol. Ordered what seemed like a popular spicy seafood dish
This was insanely delicious! Malaysian cuisine (Nyonya cuisine)
Incredibly tasty! I’m amazed I might actually like this more than Singaporean, Indian, or Thai food! So delicious ♩ Taking a little stroll to head towards the city center A small 16th-century fortress with cannons installed around it
Built by the Portuguese army to prepare for war with the Dutch It’s one of the popular tourist spots, but since it’s nighttime, there were hardly any people and I could see it quickly. Malacca’s famous flashy rickshaws, the “Tricycles.”
They’re speeding around with huge speakers blasting (lol) So many amazing food stalls here. Wow~ But I’m still a bit wary of street food…
Never underestimate Asia. My Malaysia trip just started, so I’d be in trouble if I got sick. It’s pretty quiet~ Not many people around. Only the town feels all flashy and bright. There sure are a lot of illumination-type displays~
There are quite a few lights at night. They’re really trying hard~ But for all that effort, people aren’t really gathering~ Well, but it feels like they’re trying harder to liven things up than I expected~ It suddenly feels like Christmas has arrived Walked all the way to Dutch Square, the hub for sightseeing in Malacca.
Malacca is safe, so walking around at night is no problem. Malacca, registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2008 along with George Town on Penang Island as part of the “Historic Cities of the Malacca Strait” The vermilion-hued Dutch Square area is beautifully illuminated at night. That’s enough sightseeing for today. I’ll grab a Grab ride back from here. Malaysia’s prices are about one-third of Singapore’s.
Ride-sharing is cheap and easy to use, which is awesome. In the corner of the room is a Qibla sign indicating the direction of prayer.
It’s been a while since I’ve been in an Islamic region; I want to deepen my learning on this trip. My first day in Malaysia was truly wonderful. The climax with fireworks right before my eyes. What a great day this is. Came to eat breakfast at the hotel. As expected, there are quite a few halal-style menu items. Picked out and took what I could eat. They had snake fruit (salak) ♡
It’s a fun fruit with a crispy texture♪ Heading to the city center via Grab Oh, I see. Lots of souvenir shops pop up around noon Visiting filming locations Wow, vending machines
Juice is 70 yen (RM2.00) I guess Japanese people probably think Malaysia is cheap, huh? We’re climbing up to the top. Is this it? About 30 years ago, there was this novel called Midnight Express by Sawaki Kotaro. It’s about traveling around the world, and it’s one of my absolute favorite books. There was a drama adaptation starring Osawa Takao, and there’s a scene where they enter from the Star House entrance and go to St. Paul’s Church. And that’s where I’m headed right now♩ You can really see how novels and dramas like that influence Japanese people to come here in droves When you mention the World Heritage city of Malacca, I don’t think many people know about it. But locals often ask me, “Shin’ya Tokkyū?” or “Sawaki Kōtarō?” It really makes you realize how deeply ingrained it is in Japanese culture. Overlooking the Strait of Malacca
is the statue of Francis Xavier. Malacca was founded around 1400. It prospered as a key hub for East-West trade, developing its own unique culture through periods of Portuguese → Dutch → British rule. St. Paul’s Church, built during Portuguese rule
Only the remnants of the chapel walls remain today Every time I walk among these ruins, I think
No matter how much time passes, the stones continue to speak The history built by people is passed down to the future like this. After Francis Xavier’s death, his remains were kept here for nine months before being transferred to Goa, India. The atmosphere is remarkably similar to Macau.
These buildings feel distinctly Macau-like. And no wonder—both were constructed by the Jesuits
during the Portuguese colonial era. Standing now within the scenery I’d longed for through novels and dramas
My heart swelled in that moment when “travel connects across time” Following in Sawaki Kotaro’s footsteps, I’m so glad I came to Malacca I stroll along the riverbank as I explore the city. Colorful wall art created by beauty brand Kiehl’s to celebrate Malacca’s World Heritage designation. A hugely popular photo spot.
The vividly painted art brightens the city. Other wall art dotted around the city The riverbank smells a bit… This is Malacca’s largest church, dedicated to Francis Xavier The riverfront has many colorful buildings that look great in photos Discovered a bridge with Tamil writing
So Tamil is spoken in Malaysia too Malacca is hotter than Singapore (35°C).
The heat is draining my energy… Thinking it’s time to head back to the hotel, I tried to call a Grab, but it’s crowded and seems like I’d have to wait a long time, so I’ll walk back. Too hot, taking a break… 1km feels ridiculously far… Okay, I’m back at the hotel~ Grab said it’d be a 15-minute wait, and I didn’t want to wait 15 minutes in that heat. Walking took 13 minutes, so I walked back. Looks like I can get a free drink, so I’ll have that, rest a bit, and then head out to the next town. Café latte soaking into my parched body.
I’ll take a shower and get ready. Leaving Malacca for the next town. Thanks for watching until the end!
