Stepping foot in the Osing Kemiren Traditional Tourism Village, Banyuwangi, is like transporting us back to a warm and meaningful past. In this village, which still upholds ancestral traditions, guests are welcomed with the timeless hospitality of the Using people.
On this visit, tourists are invited to truly engage in the cultural life of the community. They participate in an educational package that introduces local arts and traditions in a hands-on and enjoyable way. From learning to appreciate the harmony of tones in learning to play the Osing gamelan, to creating beautiful motifs in batik with natural dyes—each activity offers an authentic and unforgettable experience.
The distinctive aroma of Kemiren coffee also tantalizes the senses. Guests are invited to roast the coffee traditionally, a process that not only highlights the flavor but also the rich history of the coffee and its people.
To conclude the day, visitors spend the night in a local homestay, enjoying the peaceful and warm village atmosphere. There, they become not just guests, but part of a family—sharing stories, laughter, and a warm cup of coffee on the veranda of a traditional wooden house.
A visit to Kemiren is not just a tourist trip, but a profound experience in understanding, appreciating, and loving the local culture. In every corner of this village, there are stories, values, and heritage that are wholeheartedly preserved.
