Why Go

De Djawatan Forest

De Djawatan Forest, also known as Jawatan Benculuk, is a magical forest located in Banyuwangi, East Java, Indonesia. This forest is famous for its towering trembesi (rain) trees with sprawling branches covered in green moss, creating an enchanting and mystical atmosphere that resembles scenes from fantasy movies like The Lord of the Rings. Sunlight filtering through the leaves produces a beautiful play of light and shadow, making the forest feel both peaceful and mysterious. Once used as a timber storage area during the Dutch colonial era, De Djawatan has now become one of Banyuwangi’s most popular eco-tourism destinations. Visitors can explore the forest by walking, cycling, or simply relaxing under the massive trees while enjoying the fresh air and natural beauty.
