Lokasi makam Sunan Bonang terletak di desa Bonang dan merupakan makam yang ramai kunjungan oleh para peziarah yang datang ke Tuban. Pada dasarnya, makam Sunan Bonang berada di 2 tempat yaitu di Bawean dan Tuban, dan dipercaya keduanya adalah asli. Sunan Bonang wafat di pulau Bawean, pada saat itu jenazah akan dikuburkan di Bawean, akan tetapi murid-murid yang di Tuban menginginkan jenazah tersebut di kubur di Tuban.

Lalu pada malam setelah kematiannya, sejumlah murid dari Tuban mengendap ke Bawean, dan "mencuri" jenazah Sang Sunan. Esoknya, dilakukanlah pemakaman. Anehnya, jenazah Sunan Bonang tetap ada, baik di Bonang maupun di Bawean. Karena itu, sampai sekarang, makam Sunan ada di dua tempat. Satu di Pulau Bawean, dan satunya lagi di sebelah barat Masjid Agung Tuban, Desa Kutareja, Tuban.
