Jatisawit – a village in Kecamatan Kasokandel district, Kabupaten Majalengka, West Java
Jatisawit is a small settlement in West Java province (Jawa Barat), Indonesia, administratively belonging to Kecamatan Kasokandel, which forms part of Kabupaten Majalengka. The district seat, Kecamatan Majalengka city, is located approximately 89 kilometres northeast of Bandung, and roughly 43 kilometres southwest of Cirebon city. Based on its coordinates (-6.7949629, 108.205132), Jatisawit is situated in the south-central portion of the district. As comprehensive, detailed source material specifically about the settlement is not available, the following overview relies primarily on verified data available at the Kabupaten Majalengka level and general contextual information.
General overview
Jatisawit does not figure among known tourist destinations, and no detailed independent description of it can be found in available public databases. Kecamatan Kasokandel is a relatively small district within Kabupaten Majalengka, which — like other parts of the district — is typically characterized by agricultural activities and rural lifestyle. Kabupaten Majalengka as a whole lies in the eastern part of West Java and had a population of approximately 1,374,317 in the first half of 2025. The district encompasses varied topography: in the northern, lowland areas, intensive rice and vegetable cultivation takes place, while to the south, the Ciremai volcano and highland landscapes form the natural framework. Based on its location, Jatisawit likely falls within the district's relatively low-lying, agriculturally utilized zone, though reliable data about this specific village is not available. Detailed, verifiable statistics are also not available for Kecamatan Kasokandel specifically, so the village is best understood within the broader context of the district.
Real estate and investment
No directly verifiable data is available on Jatisawit's real estate market. However, within the broader context of Kabupaten Majalengka, it has been observed that in recent years the region is receiving increased attention through infrastructural developments. The Kertajati International Airport (Bandara Internasional Jawa Barat) is located on district territory, which could enhance property values and industrial development zones in the wider area. However, this dynamic applies primarily to the immediate airport surroundings and major transportation corridors; in smaller, remote villages such as Jatisawit may be, land prices and property transaction volumes are typically more modest. Under the general framework of Indonesian land ownership regulations, foreign nationals cannot acquire full ownership rights (Hak Milik) over real estate in Indonesia; long-term lease arrangements (Hak Sewa, Hak Pakai) are available to them, with their legal frameworks regulated by Indonesian agrarian law. Any party planning a real estate transaction is advised to engage local legal expertise.
Safety and security
No unique, verifiable crime statistics are available regarding Jatisawit's public safety. Kabupaten Majalengka can generally be characterized in the manner of rural regions in West Java: local communities have strong internal cohesion, and the incidence of violent crime is lower than in major cities. On rural areas of Indonesia, it is generally characteristic that local community oversight, the tradition known as ronda – whereby residents take turns patrolling during night hours – contributes to public safety. However, this should be understood only as a general observation regarding the region; we have no source-verified data on specific safety conditions in Jatisawit. Travellers and those relocating are always advised to inquire from local residents and authorities about the current situation on site.
Tourist attractions
No named tourist sites can be identified for the village of Jatisawit from any source. However, for Kabupaten Majalengka as a whole, several verifiable attractions are known, which can be accessed from the wider area. The most significant natural attraction is Gunung Ciremai (Mount Ciremai), which is West Java's highest point and located relatively near the district, partly within its territory; it is protected as a national park and is a well-known destination among hikers. The region also contains several waterfalls and natural bathing places that are popular with locals and visitors from nearby areas, though source-verified data on their exact distance and accessibility relative to Jatisawit is not available. Kecamatan Kasokandel itself is primarily an agricultural area, lacking specialized documented tourist infrastructure.
Summary
Jatisawit is a small, agricultural settlement located in Kecamatan Kasokandel district, in Kabupaten Majalengka, in the eastern part of West Java. No independent, detailed source material about the village is publicly available, so most relevant information must be inferred from the district's general situation. Kabupaten Majalengka is a dynamic region of approximately 1.37 million people, gradually being shaped by infrastructural developments including the Kertajati airport. Jatisawit itself should not be considered a tourist destination, and from a real estate perspective can be approached as a market with modest transaction volumes typical of villages. For those interested, the broader district's natural and cultural assets – particularly the Gunung Ciremai area – may offer attractive nearby focal points.
