Kin, Administrative town in Kunigami District, Japan.
The town extends across 37.57 square kilometers along Kin Bay, divided into five administrative wards including central business district and agricultural areas.
Established in 1980 after Okinawa's return to Japan, Kin evolved from ancient settlements dating back to the Jomon period through the Gusuku era.
The Dragon Brand of awamori spirits ages in natural limestone caves, while the Buddhist Kin Kannon-ji temple stands as a preserved wooden structure from 1942.
Located in central Okinawa Island, Kin is accessible via the Okinawa Expressway, with a 45-minute drive from Naha to Kin Interchange.
The town houses Camp Hansen military base and claims the origin of taco rice, setting a Guinness World Record in 2010 for the largest taco rice.
