Banyuwangi, Administrative capital in East Java, Indonesia

The Banyuwangi region extends over 5,782 square kilometers along the eastern edge of Java Island, bordering the Bali Strait.

The area transformed from the Kingdom of Blambangan, the last Hindu kingdom in Java, to Dutch control during the eighteenth century.

The Osing people of Banyuwangi maintain their traditions through performances like the Gandrung dance, which combines local and Balinese influences.

Banyuwangi Airport at Blimbingsari and ferry services to Bali provide transportation options for reaching this administrative region.

In 1871, Banyuwangi marked the connection point between the undersea cable and Australian Overland Telegraph Line, linking communications to Darwin.
