Pasuruan

Pasuruan is an administrative region in East Java with varied terrain spanning approximately 1,500 square kilometers. The area comprises multiple districts with Bangil as its administrative center and is connected by roads linking to larger cities.

Under Dutch colonial rule, this region became known as an important agricultural production center. That farming focus shaped how the area developed over many generations.

The people here keep Javanese customs alive through local ceremonies and traditional music performances. Daily life shows these practices in regional cooking and the way communities come together for celebrations.

You can explore the region comfortably by car or bus using the road network connecting different areas. It helps to orient yourself beforehand or join local guides to get to know the various parts.

The Candi Jawi temple in Prigen district displays ancient stone architecture from when old kingdoms ruled this area. Visitors can still see the detailed carvings and layout of this historical site today.
