Johar Market is the largest traditional market in Semarang City.

Why is it called Johar market?
''There are many traders who open their doors during inmate visiting hours. "Then, the Krempyeng market appeared under the Johar tree," said Hartono Samidjan. When the prison was moved to the Mlaten area (Jalan Dr Cipto), the municipal government built a main market on the east side of the square. Once finished, the market was called Johar Market.

What is Johar's name?
Johar or juar is the name of a type of hardwood-producing tree belonging to the Fabaceae family (=Leguminosae, legumes). This tree, which is often planted as roadside shade, is also known by similar names, such as juwar (Btw., Jw., Sd.), or johor (Mly.). In Java it is often called jati wesi.
