LokaLaku News – A new star is rising in Tuban's tourism landscape, offering a journey not just to a place, but into the living, breathing heart of Javanese culture. This is Desa Wisata Budaya Sukorejo, a village recently inaugurated as the first official Cultural Tourism Village in the regency. At its core is the charming Kampung Jawa, a hub designed to celebrate and preserve the region's rich artistic and social heritage.
Forget static museum pieces; Sukorejo offers an immersive dive into "Jawa tempo dulu" (Old Java) where traditions are not just displayed, but actively performed. This destination has become a point of pride for Tuban, showcasing a deep commitment to preserving the authentic soul of East Javanese culture for generations to come.
A Stage for Living Arts
While the beautiful traditional Joglo and Limasan houses provide a stunning, nostalgic backdrop, the true spirit of Sukorejo is found in its vibrant performing arts. The village is a sanctuary for classic Javanese art forms. Visitors can be mesmerized by the storytelling of Kesenian Sandur (a local form of theatre), the intricate melodies of a Karawitan gamelan orchestra, the soulful voice of a Sinden, or the energetic rhythms of a Reog performance. These are not just shows; they are the cultural heartbeat of the community.
An Authentic Community Experience
The experience in Sukorejo is deeply rooted in its community. Visitors have the unique opportunity to stay in homestays managed by local residents, offering a genuine taste of Javanese hospitality. The culinary journey is just as authentic, with traditional gastronomy served in a charming, rustic setting. This approach ensures that tourism directly benefits the community while providing visitors with a memorable and meaningful connection.
As Tuban's first official Cultural Tourism Village, Sukorejo is more than just a photogenic spot; it's a testament to the power of community in preserving a priceless legacy and a must-visit for anyone seeking an authentic cultural experience in Indonesia.
