Kahuripan is an economy class train that serves the Kiaracondong-Blitar route via the southern railway lines of Java Island.

The name of this train comes from a Hindu-Buddhist kingdom that was established in East Java in the 11th century precisely in 1009 called Kahuripan, which was founded by Airlangga as a continuation of the Medang Kingdom which collapsed three years earlier.
