Jember (beritajatim.com) - Pemerintah pusat melalui Departemen Pariwisata saat ini sedang menggiatkan desa wisata untuk menarik wisatawan lokal maupun manca. Jadi dalam mengenalkan obyek tujuan wisata daerah kepada para wisatawan baik domestik maupun mancanegara, salah satunya adalah dengan mengemas wisata daerah melalui pengembangan desa wisata.
Program tersebut sebagai langkah awal untuk lebih memberdayakan masyarakat yang ada disekitar tempat tujuan wisata. Konsep desa wisata� itu dengan memaksimalkan potensi yang dipunyai oleh desa baik dari aspek ekonomi maupun sosial budayanya.
Dengan adanya desa wisata praktis akan meningkatkan pendapatan masyarakat yang membuka usaha kecil dilokasi tujuan wisata dengan menjual berbagai macam kerajinan dan warung makanan, selain itu keberadaan desa wisata bisa memberikan kontribusi pendapatan kepada daerah.
Dari data yang ada di kantor Dinas Pariwisata Propinsi Jawa Timur sendiri menyebutkan, di Kabupaten Jember ada 3 desa yang dikemas menjadi desa wisata. Diantaranya desa Kemuning Lor kecamatan Arjasa, desa Sukorambi kecamatan Sukorambi dan desa Sumberrejo kecamatan Ambulu.
Selain Jember beberapa kabupaten juga turut dikembangkan desa wisata, diantaranya kabupaten� Banyuwangi, Lamongan, Pasuruan, Malang dan Pacitan.
Menurut Kepala Kantor Pariwisata Pemkab Jember Arif Tjahjono,SE, dipilihnya desa wisata tersebut bukan tanpa alasan. Dirinya mencontohkan di desa Sukorambi kecamatan Sukorambi terdapat wisata agro Taman Botani, desa Kemuning kecamatan Arjasa dikenal dengan pemandian Rembangan, serta di desa Sumber Rejo kecamatan Ambulu ada pantai watu ulo dengan keindahan wisata lautnya.
“Kantor Pariwisata Kabupaten Jember sangat mendukung program desa wisata ini, upaya persiapan desa wisata terus dilakukan dengan berbagai upaya mulai dari mempercantik sarana dan prasana yang ada hingga mensosialisasikan program tersebut kepada masyarakat desa wisata, mengingat desa wisata ini akan dilaksanakan pada tahun 20l0,” jelasnya.
Kedepan Arif berharap bisa berkembang seperti di Yogyakarta. Seperti misalnya di kabupaten Sleman Propinsi DIY (Yogyakarta) saat ini ada sekitar l50 desa yang disiapkan menjadi desa wisata.[her/ted]

Upon entering the gate of Parangkusumo Beach, you will immediately feel the sacred nuance of the beach that is located around 30 kilometers south of Yogyakarta city and it is believed to be the entrance gate to the south ocean. You will soon smell the fragrance of flowers and incense as the materials of an offering; the nuance you will find nowhere but in this beach.
The sacredness of the place feels more distinct when you look at the scattered flowers and sets of offerings on the Love Stone that is located in Puri Cepuri complex where Panembahan Senopati and Queen of the South met and made an agreement. At that time, Senopati was meditating on the bigger stone in the north when Queen of the South approached him and sat on the smaller stone in the south.
The meeting between the two authorities had influence on the relationship between Yogyakarta Kingdom and Bale Sokodhomas Kingdom. It began when Senopati was perfecting his supernatural powers by doing the ritual of tapa ngeli or carrying himself away in the river. Arriving at a certain phase of his meditation, suddenly there was storm on the beach, trees were yanked out by its roots, the seawater was boiling and fish were thrown to the land.
The occurrence compelled the Queen of the South to show up on the surface of the ocean to see Senopati. Senopati expressed his ideal to govern Mataram and asked the Queen of South for her help. The Queen promised him the help with the conditions that Senopati and his descendants would be willing to become her husbands. Senopati took the conditions with the request that the marriage should not bear children.
The agreement made Yogyakarta Kingdom as one of Mataram frictions to have close relationship with the Kingdom of the South Ocean. The proof of such a relationship is the labuhan alit (giving an offering by throwing out certain things to the sea) that is done annually. One part of the labuhan ceremony is planting parts of Sultan's nails, hair and clothes in the area of Puri Cepuri. Please check with Yogyakarta tourism calendar in YogYES.com for this labuhan rite.
The meditation of Senopati that bore useful fruits caused many people to believe that any requests will be answered if they are said by the Love Stone. It is not surprising, therefore, hundreds of people from different classes and religions come to the place on certain days they consider sacred. Going in pilgrimage to the Love Stone is also believed to help someone to release heavy burdens from him and to give new life spirit.
In addition to the Love Stone and the labuhan procession, you can also enjoy the beauty of the beach and the breeze of the seashore on a horse-cart. You only have to pay IDR 20,000 for the pleasant ride.
There are many warongs where you can buy meals and drinks. Quite big numbers of visitors makes this area crowded every day, even until late at night. Some of them even spend the night in this beach to say their prayer. If you want to share the spiritual experience in Parangkusumo Beach, you can join the pilgrims praying.

Going to Ngrenehan Beach and enjoying the grilled fish will be complete if you drop by Ngobaran Beach that is located adjacent to it. The location of the beach with high cliff is around two kilometers from Ngrenehan Beach. It is not far, isn't it? Local people of Ngrenehan Beach even talk and visit Ngobaran Beach, why don't you?
Ngobaran is such an exotic beach. When sea water falls, you can see spread of both green and brown seaweed. Being looked from the top, the spread of the algae growing in between coral reef looks like spread of rice field in a densely populated area. Tens of sea animal species also present in between the coral reef, ranging from sea urchin, starfish, to various types of cockle shells.
What you will not find in other beaches is the cultural enchantment, ranging from the building to the local food. One interesting place is four praying places that stand side by side. Is it form of multiculturalism? Who knows.
The most prominent one is a building that looks like a temple with ornaments of god statues in white color. The building was built in 2003 to commemorate the arrival of Brawijaya V, one of Majapahit's king, in Ngobaran. The people who use the place are of Kejawan belief. The name 'Kejawan' originates from the nickname of Brawijaya V's son, namely Bondhan Kejawan. The person who built the building acknowledge to be the descendant of Brawijaya V and appointed one person in the community to keep this place.
The truth of this story about Brawijaya V is doubted by many historians. The reason is, if Raden Patah attacked Brawijaya V, it will give an image that Islam was spread in a violent way. Many historians suggest that the existing historical evidences do not sufficiently conclude that Raden Patah made an attack. You may search any information for further assurance about it.
Some meters of the box where the dry plant grows there is a temple for Hindu people to say prayer. No detail information of its foundation.
In front of the dry plant grows, there is a mosque with the size of around 3x4 meters. The mosque building is quite simple since the floor is of sands as if it unites with the beach. What is unique is its direction. Most of the mosques in Indonesia face westwards, but this mosque faces southwards. The front part where the religious leader leads the prayer is open so that it directly sees the ocean. When YogYES asked local people about it, no one knows the reason. They even get surprised because the founder of the mosque is a well known kyai of Nahdatul Ulama who lived in Panggang, Gunung Kidul. For correct direction for those who want to pray in the mosque, local people make a sign on the wall using red pencil.
After being astonished with the religious site, you can get down to the beach. When you come early in the morning, you will see people take seaweed. They sell the seaweed at 1,000 to 1,500 Rupiah per kilogram. They use the earnings for their daily lives.
If you come in the afternoon, however, you will see people searching for sea urchin for their side dish at their dinner. The spines of the sea urchin must be cut first then it is pried using a sickle. The meat inside of the sea urchin is then taken out. When searching for the sea urchin, people usually bring bucket, coconut sieve, sickle, and hat to prevent them from the sun.
The ingredients to cook sea urchin are salt and chilli. It is then fried. Not many people sell this menu. They say that the meat is quite delicious. If you really want to have a try, please ask them to cook specially for you. Maybe you have special recipe to cook sea urchin so that it can be served as favourite cuisine and increase society welfare.
Isn't it complete yet? There might not be other choices for the beach beauty, enchantment of the praying places, and tempting cuisine other than this beach.
