Jepara, Administrative regency in Central Java, Indonesia

Jepara extends across 1,020 square kilometers of northeastern Central Java, featuring coastal areas along the Java Sea and mountainous regions near Mount Muria.

During the 16th century, Jepara functioned as a maritime power under King Yunnus, who launched naval campaigns against Portuguese Malacca with 100 ships and 5000 soldiers.

The regency maintains a strong tradition of teak wood carving craftsmanship, with numerous workshops producing furniture and decorative items distributed worldwide.

The Karimunjawa Islands, part of Jepara regency, connect to the mainland through regular ferry services departing from Jepara port throughout the week.

The birthplace of Raden Adjeng Kartini, Indonesia's women's rights pioneer, houses a museum displaying her personal belongings and written correspondence.
