Jamu is a medicine that has been traditionally used from ancient times in Indonesia. But Jamu is not chemical medicine, it is made from natural materials only such as parts of plants, roots, leaves and bark, and fruits… So it is like predominantly herbal medicine “Kanpoo” in Japan. But in generally, jamu is made at home and taken in Indonesian daily life. In many large cities, jamu herbal medicine is sold on the street by hawkers carry a refreshing drink, usually bitter but sweetened with honey. Herbal medicine is also produced in factories by large companies and sold at various drug stores in sachet packaging, tablets, caplets and capsules. The origin of Jamu is said to be more than a thousand years ago from now. In Borobudur Buddhist monument that has also become a world heritage in Central Java Indonesia island, there ,scenes that are formulated Jumu are drawn as a relief.

I think Jamu is already similar to Japanese people who stay for a long in Indonesia. I checked at my home what kind of Jamu I have for now and there were three types of Jamu I found like in the pictures. Jamu juice for fatigue, Jamu oil which directly rub the body, sachet for supplementation ions into the body. Jamu has already become familiar with our daily life here.

Since 1988, the campaign of return to nature has been proposed by the Ministry of Health in Indonesia from the review of the drug, and effective scientific research on medicine efficacy and promote use of traditional treatment Jamu has been started.

I’d like to introduce a luxury resort "SEMARA Uluwatu Cliff Edge Villa", located in Uluwatu. A number of Japanese guests are still small, so it is a still hidden place for us. The resort itself is great, of course but I’d like to focus SEMARA private beach for this time!

Even it is a private beach resort, but they are also welcome outsiders. First, you can pay the entrance fee at the reception. This fee includes food and beverages at the beach club restaurant. As the name of the hotel, SEMARA is stands on the edge of a cliff so they take you to the beach club by a cable car. When you arrive at the beach club, they will show your image of tropical island! Blue clear waters and white sand! The beach club restaurant “Finn's” looks simple and lovely but it also shows you luxury as a resort. Enjoying their food, beach, get suntan… Yes, this is an image of tropical island!

先月8月29日、この楽園の島の隅々があらゆる種の装飾で彩られた。家々の軒先にはフルーツ、ココナッツの葉、花でデコレーションされた"ペンジョール"と呼ばれる背の高い竹の棒が、家の入り口の右側に飾られた。そしてそれぞれの玄関先には、祭日用に小さな竹の祭壇が置かれ、霊に贈るヤシの葉の供物も用意されていた。これはバリヒンドゥの祭日、ガルンガンを意味するものだ！

ガルンガンはバリヒンズー教徒にとって、宇宙の創造者、先祖の霊を称えるための最も重要な祭典である。これは、悪（Adharma）に対する善の勝利（Dharma）を象徴し、クリエータと列聖された先祖への感謝の意を示すための祭典である。

ガルンガン当日は、バリの信者は寺院へお参りに行き、霊に供え物を贈る。男性はヤシの葉を用意し、女性は頭の上に供物のせて運ぶ姿が見られる。
ガルンガンはバリ暦の210日周期で巡ってくる。このタイミングで先祖の霊が地球を訪れていると考えられている。バリヒンズー教徒はこの、帰って来る霊を歓迎し、楽しませると考えガルンガンの儀式を行っている。
Last month, on August 29th, every corners of this Paradise Island was joylly enbeauty with any kind of decorations. Most of the houses sprouted tall bamboo poles called "Penjor" decorated with fruit, coconut leaves, and flowers, and set up on the right of every residence entrance. At each gate, there's also small bamboo altars set up especially for the holiday, each one bearing woven palm-leaf offerings for the spirits. Indeed, it was Galungan Day!

Galungan is the most important feast for Balinese Hindus, a celebration to honor the creator of the universe (Ida Sang Hyang Widi) and the spirits of the honored ancestors.
The festival symbolizes the victory of good (Dharma) over evil (Adharma), and encourages the Balinese to show their gratitude to the creator and sainted ancestors.

On Galungan day, Balinese devotees pray at the temples and make their offerings to the spirits. Women are seen carrying the offerings on their heads, while men bring palm fronds.

Galungan occurs once in the 210-day cycle of the Balinese calendar, and marks the time of the year when the spirits of the ancestors are believed to visit the earth. Balinese Hindus perform rituals that are meant to welcome and entertain these returning spirits.

インドネシア政府は現在、ヌサドゥアとサヌール、またその他の北側の観光エリアを結ぶ為、海上に高速道路を作るという大規模な工事を行なっています。この高速道路はングラライ国際空港への道にも直結されます。

この有料高速道路はスランガンとタンジュンブノアに沿って11.5キロ続き、南バリ地区、特にシンパンシウールやクタの交通渋滞を解決すると予測され行なわれています。この工事は2013年にヌサドゥアで開催されるAPEC会議の開催に間に合うよう、急ピッチで行なわれています。道路は高さがある為、森林を妨げることはないと考えられていますが、マングローブ林を通過する経路上に行なわれる為、林業省から事前許可を得なければいけません。

上手くいけば、この高速道路の実現によりクタとその周辺地域の交通渋滞問題が解決され、観光客にも更なるパラダイスアイランドを提供することが出来るでしょう。

The Indonesian government is currently building a very prestigious project known as Bali Toll, the highway above the sea that connects the tourism area of Nusa Dua and the nearby with Sanur ann other tourism areas in the north. The motorway
is integrated with a road that connects directly to the Ngurah Rai International Airport.

This toll road projects is about 11.5 kilometers along Serangan - Tanjung Benoa is planned to solve the problem of traffic congestion in the area of Southern Bali, especially around the Simpang Dewa Ruci (Simpang Siur), Kuta. The process of this project is accelerated and expected it can be operated before the convening of the APEC meeting to be held in Nusa Dua area in 2013. But this project was constrained on the path that passes through the Mangrove forest, so it must obtain advance permission from the Ministry of Forestry. With the consent of Indonesian Ministry of Forestry, the construction process can begin physical. Its construction will be made higher, so it will not interfere with forest land.

Hopefully by the realization of this Bali Toll, the problem of transport congestion in the tourist area of Kuta and the surrounding areas can be resolved so as to provide comfort to the perpetrators of transportation, especially the tourists who is in their vacation in this paradise island.

ブドゥグルにある、ブラタン湖のほとりに建つウルンダヌ寺院は美しく有名なヒンドゥー寺院です。湖に浮かぶ寺院の姿は特に絵葉書で、また５万ルピア紙幣でよく知られています。

湖の水が増している時は、水の動きによって寺院は水上を流れているかのように見えます。またブラタン湖は涼しく、霧で覆われる美しく広い湖です。水は透明で穏やか、湖の背景には美しい山が見えます。湖畔に停泊しているボートが、更に美しい風景をプラスします。
この寺院は先史時代の遺跡であり、観光産業においてもバリ島のシンボルの一つと言えるでしょう。ウルンダヌンブラタンの左側には、紀元前約500年前の石石棺とボードがあります。現在両方とも、ババトゥランと言われるテラスの上に配置されています。ウルンダヌブラタンにあるその場所は昔、儀式を行うための場所として使用されていたと考えられています。

タナロットのような他の観光地と同じように、ブドゥグルはバリ島の神聖な地としても魅力的な場所の一つです。
Bedugul or specifically refers to Ulun Danu Temple at Beratan Lake is the beautiful & famous Hindu temple complex. Its fame mostly known as the floating temple in postcard or even in IDR 50,000,00 paper money!!

When the lake water is going up, this temple is looked like adrift above water because the water encircles. Beratan Lake is a beautiful wide lake encircled by the cool temperature and blanketed by fog. The water is clear and calm with beautiful mountain as backdrop view. There are plenty of boats standby at lakeside has added the beauty of this place.

As one of the icons of the island of Bali, especially in tourism industry, actually this temple is one of Bali pre-historic sites. On the left side of the front page Ulun Danu Beratan there is a stone sarcophagus and a board that come from the megalithic tradition, around 500 BC. Both artifacts are now placed above each babaturan (terrace). It is estimated that the location Ulun Danu Beratan has been used as a place to carry out the ritual since ancient megalithic activity.

As other tourism icons like Tanah Lot, Bedugul is one of the most attractive destinations yet still as a sacred place to the island.

ユネスコは、6月29日に行なわれたロシアのサンクトペテルブルクの協議会で、バリの伝統的なスバック農業システムを世界遺産として正式認定しました。

インドネシアの政府は世界遺産として、タバナンのバトゥカル山、ギャニャールのパカリシャン集水域、タマン・アユン寺院、バンリのバトゥール湖の4つをバリ島より候補に挙げていました。特に９月の世界ジオパークでユネスコは、バンリのキンタマニにあるバトゥール山がクレーターにより出来たカルデラであることを発表する予定です。

デンパサールより約60キロ北に位置するバトゥール山は活火山であり、10x13キロのエリアがカルデラで覆われ、23670年から28500年前に形成されたと考えられています。ユネスコは地質上の理由からだけでなく、考古学的、生態学的、文化的価値からもジオパークとして認めています。

バトゥール山が認定を受けるとき、正にそれは、インドネシアにとって初の国際ジオパークが誕生するときとなります。カルデラ周辺には、ケディサンとトヤブンカの2つの主要な村を含む、合計15の村があります。またバトゥールにはトルニャンという先住民族が住む村もあります。村人のほとんどは農業や漁業で生計を立てています。

ユネスコの承認は、地元の観光業にとって本当に有り難く、またバリ文化にとっても大きな助けとなることでしょう。しかし同時に多くの人々が見学に訪れるということでもあり、政府はこの素晴らしさを保つための管理を今後検討する必要があります。

UNESCO has officially acknowledged Bali’s traditional subak agricultural system on its World Heritage List during the organization’s annual meeting in Saint Petersburg, Russia, on June 29.

Four sites were proposed by the Indonesian government for inclusion on UNESCO’s list of World Heritage Sites: the Batukaru mountain reserve in Tabanan, the Pakerisan watershed in Gianyar, the Taman Ayun royal palace in Badung and Lake Batur in Bangli.
Special for Batur, actually UNESCO intends to announce that it is making Mount Batur caldera in Kintamani, Bangli regency, a world geopark site next September.

Located around 60 kilometers north of Denpasar, Mount Batur is an active volcano, the caldera of which covers an area of 10x13 kilometer and was formed between 23,670 and 28,500 years ago. UNESCO defines a geopark as a territory encompassing one or more sites of scientific importance, not only for geological reasons, but also by virtue of archaeological, ecological and cultural value.

When Mount Batur receives the nomination, it will become the first international geopark in Indonesia. There are 15 villages around the caldera, including the two main villages of Kedisan and Toya Bungkah. Batur is also home to the Trunyan, one of the indigenous ethnic groups in Bali. Most of the villagers work in agriculture and fisheries.

The UNESCO acknowledgement would be a boon for the local tourism industry and help preserve the practice as a central pillar of Balinese culture, however, it needs to be followed up by real action to preserve the sites. Many people will come to the sites. The government should manage them to anticipate the damage to the sites because of tourism.

ウルワトゥ寺院は、クタ地区のプチャトゥ村に位置しています。

バリ島の南西部に在り、海に突き出た正に断崖絶壁、そんな岩の上に建てられています。ウルワツの名前の由来は「土地の終わり」を意味する「ウル」、そして「岩」を意味する「ワツ」からきています。

バリヒンズー教徒にとって、この寺院はバリで最も重要な９つの寺院の中の一つです。また、寺院周辺からはバリ石器時代の石棺や遺物が発見されていて、大昔から神聖な場所として使用されていたと考えられています。

海抜97メートルの標高に位置し、美しい自然の中にとけ込むウルワツ寺院は世界的にも有名です。寺院の周りにはアラスケケランと呼ばれる神聖な森が在りますが、そこではビュッフェも用意されています。波、高い崖、寺院、この組み合わせに見るサンセットは壮大で格別です。その後はケチャ＆ファイアーダンスのパフォーマンスが行なわれるので、夕方前から行かれるのがべストです。ウルワツ寺院での素敵な夕暮れをお楽しみください。

The temple locates on the southwestern island of Bali on the steep high rocks jutting into the sea. 'Uluwatu" derived from "ulu" which means "land's end" and "watu" means "rock".

For Balinese Hindus, this temple is considered as one of the nine most important temples in Bali. The possibility of this temple area was used as the sacred area (worshipping area) since prehistoric age, as evidenced by the discovery of the sarcophagus (stone coffin) and some kind of relic from Bali stone-age.

The area of Uluwatu is very famous by its incredible natural scenery where Pura Uluwatu lies at an altitude of 97 meters above sea level. Around the temple lies a small sacred forest called Alas Kekeran, serves as a buffer against the sanctity of the temple. With a remarkable sunset view and its spectacular blend between ocean waves - high cliff rock - temple, this temple area is a very interesting place to visit. Its scenic beauty combined with Kecak and Fire Dance cultural performance makes the evening atmosphere at Uluwatu to be very fascinating.

2012年6月20日、ロシアのサンクトペテルブルクにて行なわれた世界遺産委員会にて、バリ島のスバック（バリ文化景観）が、世界文化遺産の一つとして認定されました。これは実に１２年間の努力の成果です。 スバックとは、特に水田灌漑用の水利共同体組織です。つまり、水の供給源を同じくする水田のことで、水田の近接する人々の潅漑農耕のために構成された組合です。スバックは伝統的な価値観、また高度に組織化されたシステムの両方を兼ね備えています。 スバックがよりどころとする原理は自主独立と、宗教とが結び付いた慣習で、スバックは伝統的に世代から世代へと受け継がれている組織です。バリ島民の一般的な価値観はトリ・ヒタ・カラナの教え（幸福は「創造主」と「人間」と「自然」が一体となってはじめて達成できるという考え）ですが、スバックはこの考えが基盤となっています。 最近では、スバックは独自の伝統的なシステムと美しい景観を持つ観光産業の主要な一つともなっています。最も注目すべきはタバナンにあるJatiluwih村のスバックでしょう。他にもCeking（写真）やPupuanなど本当に素晴らしい風景のスバックがバリ島にはあります。 Through a plenary session in St Petersburg, Russia, on June 20, 2012, Subak of Bali (Bali Culture Landscape) established as one of the World Cultural Heritage by origin Indonesia (UNESCO) after going through the process and the hard work of nearly 12 years. Subak is a one of the cultural social system in Bali especially to conduct rice irrigation system (irrigation). Subak which has become a tradition combines sacred traditional values and highly organized system. Bali Subak culture is also an exceptional manifestation of which is owned by farmers in Bali. Subak is an organization that traditionally passed down from generation to generation. The tenants of rice fields in Bali receive irrigation water from a water source or a dam and this is the main function of Subak. Subak based on Tri Hita Karana is the foundation that integrates the three components of the cause of the welfare and happiness of life is believed by the Balinese. Recently, Subak is also a main component in tourism industry with its unique traditional system and beautiful landscape. Most notable is Subak in Jatiluwih village in Tabanan.
