Pilgrimage tourism is a popular type of special interest tourism carried out by the Indonesian people, one of which is a trip to the grave of a religious figure. Islam is the majority religion in Indonesia. Pesarean Gunung Kawi is an area that contains the graves of respected Islamic figures, namely Eyang Djoego and Eyang Raden Mas Iman Soedjono. Pesarean Gunung Kawi is also known for its negative image, namely pesugihan. This image of pesugihan developed because of the success story of an ethnic Chinese businessman who became successful after performing prayers and rituals at Pesarean Gunung Kawi. The purpose of this research is to explore cultural diversity as a tourist attraction and management in Pesarean Gunung Kawi. This research explores cultural attractions and sites where cultural diversity from Javanese and Chinese traditions is present. The existence of this cultural diversity is analysed through the five aspects of attraction: attractions, amenities, accessibility, ancillary services, and information.
