South Shore Yogyakarta

South Shore Jogja is one of the tourist destinations in Gunungkidul, south of the city of Jogja, which offers a million charms that are not easy to forget. Has a variety of interesting photo spots and also exciting facilities. The location of the club and open lounge South Shore Jogja is in Kapanewon Tepus, Gunungkidul Regency. Which if taken from the center of Yogyakarta City using a vehicle will only take approximately 2 hours of travel. Even though it can be reached by motorbike, it's even more comfortable if you drive to the Gunung Kidul area by car. South Shore is located between Ngandong Beach and Sadranan Beach. #newyearadventure #tripblazers #mytripvlog #yogyakarta

The Journey Hotel, Yogyakarta

The best stay ever. The environment was pleasant and welcoming. Both check-in and check-out were professionally handled and easy. Friendly staff. Clean hotel. Beautiful atmosphere inside and outside around that part of the city. Walking distance to everything downtown. Beautiful rooms, great ambiance in the hotel dining room and bar. We didn’t eat so I can’t rate the food, although others looked like they were enjoying it! We will come again! I had a wonderful experience at the Journey Hotel. Every staff member I encountered, from the valet to the check- in to the cleaning staff were delightful and eager to help! Thank you! Will recommend to my colleagues! #holidayhotel #hotel #hoteldeals #hotelcation #hotelexperience #hotelview #villa #villas #goodplace #choicehomestay #goodhotel #romanticrestaurant#infinitypool

Jogja, Indonesia

Sebelum Indonesia merdeka, Yogyakarta merupakan daerah yang mempunyai pemerintahan sendiri atau disebut Zelfbestuurlandschappen/Daerah Swapraja, yaitu Kasultanan Ngayogyakarta Hadiningrat dan Kadipaten Pakualaman. Kasultanan Ngayogyakarta Hadiningrat didirikan oleh Pangeran Mangkubumi yang bergelar Sultan Hamengku Buwono I pada tahun 1755, sedangkan Kadipaten Pakualaman didirikan oleh Pangeran Notokusumo (saudara Sultan Hamengku Buwono II) yang bergelar Adipati Paku Alam I pada tahun 1813. Pemerintah Hindia Belanda mengakui Kasultanan, dan Pakualaman sebagai kerajaan dengan hak mengatur rumah tangganya sendiri yang dinyatakan dalam kontrak politik. Kontrak politik yang terakhir Kasultanan tercantum dalam Staatsblaad 1942 Nomor 47, sedangkan kontrak politik Pakualaman dalam Staatsblaad 1941 Nomor 577. Eksistensi kedua kerajaan tersebut telah mendapat pengakuan dari dunia internasional, baik pada masa penjajahan Belanda, Inggris, maupun Jepang. Ketika Jepang meninggalkan Indonesia, kedua kerajaan tersebut telah siap menjadi sebuah negara sendiri yang merdeka, lengkap dengan sistem pemerintahannya (susunan asli), wilayah, dan penduduknya. Setelah Proklamasi Kemerdekaan Republik Indonesia (RI), Sri Sultan Hamengkubuwana IX dan Sri Paku Alam VIII menyatakan kepada Presiden RI, bahwa Daerah Kasultanan Yogyakarta, dan Daerah Pakualaman menjadi wilayah Negara RI, bergabung menjadi satu kesatuan yang dinyatakan sebagai Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta (DIY). Sri Sultan Hamengkubuwana IX dan Sri Paku Alam VIII sebagai Kepala Daerah, dan Wakil Kepala Daerah bertanggung jawab langsung kepada Presiden RI. #summervacation#beachvacation#hikingtrails#hotelstay#urbanexplorer

Yokohama , which is more worthy of punching than Bali, travels to Indonesia. Compared with Bali, I admire a city like Yogyakarta. The impression of Yogyakarta is very quiet. Harmony, you can walk slowly on the path and experience the artistic life of the Indonesian style in a carriage. Yogyakarta's attractions are very concentrated, and the is basically in a small area in the city center, and I feel that I can walk around. The most striking thing in the city is the palace complex, which is also the biggest attraction in the city. Yogya is the most historic city in Indonesia. It is the cradle of Javanese culture and the largest city. It is an important economic and educational center. Therefore, it is also said that Yogyakarta is one of the most worthwhile cities to visit. Compared with the ultra-hot cities of Bali, visitors to Yogyakarta are not so many tourists in the urban area. You can experience the local customs here. Yogya has a very famous attraction, and it is also ranked first in the number of punching spots, the world's largest Buddhist temple group, Borobudur. Legend has it that this ancient Eastern miracle was concealed by local volcanoes because it lost people's beliefs, and then reappeared in people's field of vision because of faith. Every year, millions of people come here for the sake of its appearance, and can see a sunrise here, which is said to be one of the luckiest things in life. Of course, in addition to the famous attractions, what you can't miss in Yogyakarta is the batik. Every time you go out, you buy a lot of gifts, but you can do something that is hard to get. The batik in Yogyakarta is a famous local handicraft. You can record everything you saw in Yogyakarta, write it by waxing, write your own name, and become the most unique gift. Attractions

GIMBO COFFE ROASTERY | Having coffee by the rice fields

Enjoy a serene coffee experience in the tranquil village atmosphere at gimbocoffeeroastery. It’s worth the 13 km journey from the center of Yogyakarta City, heading towards Sleman with views of Mount Merapi visible at several points along the way. Unfortunately, at that time, the rice fields right next to Gimbo had not yet bloomed. But this did not detract from the serene coffee experience at Gimbo, which has long been involved in the coffee business, featuring coffee from South Sumatra. Not only are Semendo coffee beans featured at the bar, but also Ranau--a lake tourism area in South Sumatra. Since it was still early, I ordered a warm filtered coffee with Ranau beans--specifically Ranau Pokat Gn. Rayo--which has a light and pleasant texture to sip slowly. If I'm not mistaken, Gimbo also offers milk coffee and snacks. What’s cool is that, as seen on their IG account, throughout the fasting month, Gimbo opens for public iftar sessions complete with heavy meals and snacks. #songkran2024 #cherryblossom2024 #familytrip #cherryblossom2024 #trip #coffeeshop

Trip to Yogyakarta

Yogyakarta or called Jogja by many locals is a very cultural city in Central Java, Indonesia. They have a lot of history places to go such as Bodobudur, Prambanan Temple, Taman Sari and not forgetting their foods are delicious to the max. Went to one of the Japan Cafe which is located at Jalan Godean, called Kazu by Roka and ordered a few of their Ramens they also recommend their signature Corn Ribs and all were very tasty! Definitely i will comeback to Yogyakarta again to explore more of the foods there #yogyakartatrip #yogyakartacity #jogjaculinary

MAHLIGA COFFEE | COFFEE & SPACE FUTURISTIC

For friends living around Jakal or still in the UII area, you don't need to worry or travel far south anymore if you need a place to work or hang out late. Besides being open 24 hours and having indoor AC, the coffee shop also has a spacious outdoor area with a cool atmosphere! It's peaceful, not noisy at all, with a gentle breeze, beautiful evening sky, and even the sound of birds chirping as they fly by or perch on tree branches. It's a bit off the main road but not too far, and it's already on Google Maps. The parking area is also spacious enough for both two-wheelers and four-wheelers. For those curious or wanting to study or hang out until morning tonight, just come directly! #instatravel #goodfoods #trip #familytrip #familyfun #localguides #coffeeshop #coffee #futuristic

The Magical of Mangunan Pine Forest

It only took me around 1,5hrs from Yogyakarta city center to reach Mangunan Pine Forest! I rented a motorbike for only IDR80k for a whole day, and I totally enjoy the beauty scenery along the way!! The ticket price to enter this location is only IDR5000, and if you are lucky there will be a music show performance #Yogyakarta #Mangunan #indonesia #Jogja #Pine #Pineforest

Amazing villa located close enough to the main city of Yogyakarta and far enough to be able to enjoy a relaxing experience. A lot of trendy coffee shops are within a few minutes of drive. Huge land with a fire pit, a swimming pool, a movie projector and more. You can also order food from the villa because of their partnership with a nearby restaurant. Do yourself a favor and try it!

TEMPO GELATO JOGJAKARTA

Best place to have some ice cream. There are a lot of kinds of ice cream flavors. Fruity, sweet and fresh. The place has their own vibes so much differ from other places. Its kinda cheap and worth it tbh. Its a great place with nice atmosphere. Best time to have ice cream while the sun is too bright and shinning. But even at night it is still no regret.#jogjatrip2023 #explorejogja

Teras Malioboro 2 is located on vacant land which is the former office complex for the northern Malioboro tourism office, to be precise to the north of the DIY DPRD Office.

Beautiful Merapi City View

Yogyakarta, Indonesia, the real version of the ancient temple escape hotel, ready to run! ! Speaking of the hotel, the brand of Hyatt is not unfamiliar to everyone. This time in Yogyakarta, we still choose such a chain brand in the hotel selection. Yogyakarta's Hyatt opened in 1997 and was refurbished in 12 years. The hotel has a large footprint, offering saunas, swimming pools, massages and even tennis and golf. When I first saw this hotel, I felt like I had met before. Because I was already at night when I was staying, I didnt see the details. I found out the next morning and the overall shape and floor of the hotel. The hot old temple escapes the same. I don't know who is "plagiarizing". Anyway, there is a feeling that I seem to live in the game, and I will start running in the next second. For this hotel, I personally recommend the room on the executive floor, with afternoon tea and breakfast, and the room price is around RMB 700, which is quite cost-effective. The hotel is about 7 kilometers to the city. It is about 12 kilometers to the airport. The location is in the middle of the two locations. You can ask the hotel to help you by car in advance. The hotel is very large, especially the swimming pool is large and small, there are 3, and there are slides on the pool. It can be said that it is a playful paradise for children. There are other activities, such as fishing and horse-drawn carriages. Need to pay attention: hotel can be regarded as being in the suburbs, so it is not convenient to eat and drink. Personally, it is best to choose a room with breakfast. If you stay at the hotel in the evening, dinner may only be settled at the hotel. And it was not included at the beginning, and it was very uneconomical to add it later. Whenever a good person leads the way, or introduces you to coffee, etc., don't pay attention!! Because these are all paid, be careful. The hotel has a free car to the city or the airport, but at least one hour in advance to make an appointment, personally feel that it is convenient to take a taxi, after all, it takes only about 35 to 50 yuan to go to these two places.
