Love the atmosphere!, the ancient red bricks and overall temple surrounded by the water!.
But please make sure the ticket person charge you correctly! I am a local Indonesian, he charged me IDR 3000/person!, I am not sure how much he charge the tourists!.

The Tikus temple ruins are very nicely landscaped, and it's really neat to be able to climb down the stairs to near the actual pool itself. I had a relaxing and peaceful time here, and would recommend these ruins to others.

This is Candi Tikus (Tikus Tample). Candi Tikus is a ritual bathing pool (petirtaan) which is perhaps the most exciting recent archaeological finding at Trowulan. Candi Tikus means 'rat temple', the name given to the discovery in 1914 because the site appeared during the excavation to be a rat-breeding enclosure. Restored to its present condition in 1985 and 1989, this complex of red brick takes the form of a sunken, rectangular basin, into which a flight of steps descends on the northern side.
Candi Tikus is one of relics of the Majapahit kingdom.

Candi Tikus (Rat Temple) is a relic of the Hindu-style kingdom located in the Trowulan Complex, precisely in the hamlet of Dinuk, Temon Village, Trowulan District, Mojokerto Regency, East Java. The name 'Rat' is just a designation used by the local community. It is said that, when it was discovered, the place where the temple is located is a rat's nest. The building of the Candi Tikus resembles a "pool" in the form of a pond with several buildings in it. Nearly all rectangular buildings with a size of 29.5 m x 28.25 m are made of red bricks. Interestingly, it is located lower than about 3.5 m from the surrounding land surface. On the top surface there is a corridor about 75 cm wide that surrounds the building. On the inner side, down about 1 m, there is a wider corridor around the edge of the pond. The entrance to the temple is on the north side, in the form of a 3.5 m wide ladder leading to the bottom of the pool. Another interesting thing is the presence of two types of bricks of different sizes used in the construction of this temple. The temple's foot consists of a large arrangement of red bricks that are closed with a smaller size of red bricks. Aside from the foot of the building, there are also two types of water fountains in this temple, which are made of brick and those made of andesite.

The exclusive pool for the emperors and all of the Brahmin. Reminds you a similar pool in Trawas, the Patirtan Jolotundo. But it's on different dinasties, the other one is the Airlangga's Kahuripan legacy, and this one is the Majapahit sites. You will get a good angle on afternoon. However, on 10:00 AM is already hot there. Be prepared to get a sunblock or simply bring an umbrella. The admission is 3.000 rupiahs per pax.
