What To Do During This Phase 3 Weekend (26-28 Mar)
Ready for the weekend? Here's what you can look forward to this week.
1. Visit the newly reopened Rail Corridor (Central)
If you're a nature lover, here's some good news: The Rail Corridor (Central), which has been closed for trail enhancement works since July 2019, just reopened on Monday (22 March).
Spanning the distance between The Rail Mall and the conserved Bukit Timah Railway Station, this 4km green corridor now has eight access points, which offer better accessibility for visitors while simulating the timber sleepers used in the old railway track to retain the trail's rustic look.
2. Taberu Tohoku Tour

This voyage will take you around the Tohoku region as you discover the best sightseeing spots in Northeast Japan and feast your eyes on mouthwatering local delicacies. Can't get enough?

You can also chow down on two special Tohoku ekiben (bento boxes served on trains) when dining at the cafe till end April.
