[Brunei] How to get to Brunei🇧🇳
📍Brunei
Brunei is a peaceful Southeast Asian country where nature and culture remain 🇧🇳
As it is still not well known, we will introduce how to get there.
[Airplane]
- Kansai: No direct flights
Stopping through airports in Southeast Asian countries
Stopping points: Cities such as Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta, Manila, Hong Kong
- Kanto: Direct flights available. Royal Brunei Airlines operates
[Time]
- About 2.5 hours from Kuala Lumpur
- About 6.5 hours from Tokyo
[International Airport]
- Compact, but has souvenir shops and cafes
- After passing through the boarding gate, there is a Starbucks with limited edition goods (a must-see for Starbucks fans)
* Please check that the store will be closed if you take a night flight
[Access to the city]
- It is better not to rely on buses or taxis.
(I didn't see it during my stay)
- Register for the Brunei-only ride-hailing app "dart" in advance
(※ Usage is the same as Uber and Grab, but payment is pre-charged or cash)
- Many people in Brunei own their own cars, so transportation is almost non-functional.
Be careful when going from the airport to the hotel or sightseeing.
[Tipping/Credit Cards]
- There is no tipping culture
- Credit cards can be used in most cases
※ Cash is required as they cannot be used at night markets
※ I selected charge payment on the distribution app, but sometimes I couldn't access it properly and had to pay in cash. It's reassuring to have cash just in case
[Exchange]
- There is an exchange office/ATM at the airport
- There are banks and exchange offices in the city

Brunei: One of the World's Largest Water Villages
📍Brunei
Tourist Spot: Kampong Ayer
Kampong Ayer is one of the world's largest water villages, accessible by boat.
Since this was a day trip, I'll introduce it along with some photos.
[Introduction]
What is Brunei's water village?
In Brunei, while people can live on land, there are those who choose to live on the water. As a result, the village is equipped with infrastructure such as electricity and water supply, and even has facilities like fire stations, mosques, and schools.
Dating back to the 1400s, the royal palace was once located within the water village, making it a place rich in history. Today, many people still live here, offering visitors a unique opportunity to experience their way of life.
[Access]
- Water Taxi
- Cost: 1 Brunei Dollar per person
In addition to crossing to the water village, you can also enjoy a cruise to observe wildlife from the boat (additional charges apply).
Kampong Ayer is just a 5-minute boat ride away, offering a different atmosphere from Brunei's city center. Be sure to consider it for your travel plans🔖

The rooms are equipped with basic amenities, so there is no need to worry. The only thing missing is pajamas (rooms without bathrobes)
You can use the restaurants and shopping even if you don't stay overnight, so if you come to Brunei, be sure to stop by🔖

[Brunei] Brunei, a safe and secure Southeast Asian country
📍Brunei
Brunei🇧🇳, located in Southeast Asia, is not well known yet.

[Brunei] A gorgeous mosque reflected on the lake
Rich countries also have gorgeous mosques✨
Introducing a beautiful and luxurious mosque on the lakeside in Brunei🕌
《Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddien Mosque》
It is commonly known as the Old Mosque.
It is beautiful, like a palace floating on the water✨
When the weather is good, the mosque is reflected in the lake and is even more beautiful♪
It is lit up at night, which is also wonderful🌛
I recommend visiting during daylight hours and at night.

🇧🇳Brunei/Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddien Mosque
📍The symbol of Brunei! Commonly known as the Old Mosque
🌟Please note that the hours during which you can visit are quite limited, but it is a wonderful and beautiful building. It is also a symbol of Brunei and is located in the center, so it can be seen from anywhere in the city. The Old Mosque seen during the day and at night is completely different, so please go there once! The design of the streetscape is also beautiful.

🇧🇳The only two 7-star hotels in the world‼️Brunei Darussalam/The Empire Brunei
📍One of only two 7-star hotels in the world!
🌟This was the overwhelming winner among all the overseas hotels I have stayed at. In addition to the thorough cleaning, you can receive wonderful hospitality. The price is also cheap, less than 40,000 yen in total (I was able to upgrade for free at the front desk), considering that it is a 7-star hotel, so it is a hotel that you should experience once. You can also use the gym, SUP, and cycling. There were Japanese programs on the TV. All amenities are free. Hot water is also perfect. The grounds are very large, so I recommend touring around on a rental mountain bike.
🚩Route
Jerudong, Bandar Seri Begawan, Brunei & Muara, Brunei Darussalam, BG 3122
🌟Notes
You will eat dinner and breakfast at the restaurant, but the prices are often not written on the menu. Dinner is charged separately, so it can be expensive. Please be careful.

Brunei.
Brunei Darussalam 'The Abode of Peace' 🇧🇳
Introducing the three places we visited this time:
'Jame' Asr Hassanil Bolkiah Mosque'
(commonly known as the New Mosque 🕌)
'Istana Nurul Iman'
(the palace where the king resides 👑)
'Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddien Mosque'
(commonly known as the Old Mosque 🕌)
They say there's hardly any tax?!
Blessed with natural resources like oil and natural gas,
it's also known as a wealthy country!!!
The atmosphere of the city during the day and at night is quite different,
and it's a country where you can spend a leisurely time forgetting about the time.
An old mosque in the small country of Brunei.
Do you know the country of "Brunei" in Southeast Asia?
Official name: Negara Brunei Darussalam
"Brunei" is located in a corner of the Malaysian island of Borneo.
Because it is an Islamic country, there are mosques scattered throughout the city, and one of them is a building called the Old Mosque.
Official name: Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddin Mosque
A river flows around the mosque, and there is also a grassy square, so it is also a place of relaxation for the people on weekends.
On the other hand, if you go on a weekday, it is very quiet and the building's beauty stands out even more.
You can visit even if you are not a Muslim.
A famous tourist spot in Brunei, it was a mosque worth seeing as it is famous.

Sapphira Cake House @Brunei🍰
If you want to try Brunei's sweet layer cake, I recommend Sapphira Cake House!
The colorful layered cake has so many flavors that it's hard to choose!
You can eat in or take out, so I recommend you visit.
They also serve meals other than cakes, so I recommend it for those who want to eat in a nice restaurant!

Brunei Energy Hub Dermaga Diraja is a place where you can learn about Brunei's history as an oil-producing country! It's air-conditioned and admission is free!

I went to Gerai Nini Mama, a Bruneian restaurant in Kampong Ayer 🍚

Looking at the opposite bank where the mosque is at dusk, it was very beautiful illuminated by the setting sun 🕌

Going to Ulu Temburong National Park③ @Brunei🌉
This is the hardest part of the tour to Ulu Temburong National Park in Brunei!
After crossing the suspension bridge and climbing the stairs, the adventure begins.
There are more than 1000 steps🪜
There are rest huts along the way, so you have to take breaks, but it will be difficult if you are not very physically fit😓
You will definitely have muscle pain the next day lol
At the top of the stairs, there is a place called the Canopy Walk where you can overlook the jungle! You also have to climb stairs there lol. Since you are climbing up something like a scaffolding at a construction site, the height felt more scary than usual, but the view from there was amazing!
All the fatigue from before was blown away~✨

Kunyit 7 Lodge@Brunei🇧🇳
On my trip to Brunei, I stayed at "Kunyit 7 Lodge"!
This is a water village, so you need to take a boat to the opposite shore to get to the center of town, but it's a relaxing stay away from the city in a calm atmosphere.
There are three cats and they are all very friendly.
The host, Kem, was also very kind and told me about various tourist spots during my stay.
Please consider staying at this lodge when you are sightseeing in Brunei!

Afternoon Tea 🫖 at the Empire Brunei 7-star Hotel
I had afternoon tea at The Empire Brunei, one of the leading hotels in Brunei!
Hotel guests can make reservations in advance.
It was popular and a little crowded, so if you definitely want to go, it's better to make a reservation!
There were four scones, so it was very filling!
You can order one for two people, so I recommend sharing.
It's also nice that the hurdle is low, at 25 Brunei dollars on the day.
The floor was very bright with the high ceilings and the light coming in through the large windows, and it was a wonderful space. 💓
It would be a very memorable afternoon tea to visit at sunset!

They have ice cream, fresh cakes, bread, sandwiches, cold meals, and even rice bowls 🤍
