Is There Any Doubly Linked List Implementation in Java?

I see JDK implementation of LinkedList internally contains Node inner class, which contains the address to next and previous.

So my doubt isn't LinkedList in java a doubly linked list. If not, why?

And how to implement our own doubly linked list?

Yes, LinkedList is a doubly linked list, as the Javadoc mentions :

Doubly-linked list implementation of the List and Deque interfaces. Implements all optional list operations, and permits all elements (including null).

All of the operations perform as could be expected for a doubly-linked list. Operations that index into the list will traverse the list from the beginning or the end, whichever is closer to the specified index.
