Towards the north-west. In Bekasi it is 295.12°, measured clockwise from true north; the other cities of West Java lie between 294.8° and 295.5°.

Can I use a compass with these bearings?
The bearings are measured from true north. A magnetic compass can be several degrees off depending on where you are, so check it with the sun method described on your city's page.
