Located in Central Java, Yogyakarta—often referred to as Jogjakarta or simply Jogja—is a vital cultural, intellectual, and literary center in Indonesia, embodying the essence of Indonesian tradition. Just a short flight from the capital, Jakarta, Jogja is easily reachable from other popular tourist spots like Bali and Singapore. Nestled between the Indian Ocean to the south and the active volcano Mount Merapi to the north, Yogyakarta is also home to Indonesia’s largest Hindu temple complex, Prambanan, and is close to the world’s largest Buddhist temple, Borobudur, highlighting its multicultural significance, despite being primarily a Muslim community.
