  Kin, Okinawa - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kin (Kunigami: ciɴ; Japanese: 金武町 -chou) is a town located in Kunigami district, Okinawa, Japan.
Although the town encompasses more than the location outside Camp Hansen, it is mostly known by Marines as a place to find a meal, a drink, or a "date." Women under contract (playfully called "buy-me drinkie girls" by the military personnel) inhabit most of the bars in Kin and are essentially prositutes.
After the terrorist attacks of 9/11, Marines from U.S. 3rd Marine Division were able to leave directly out of the ports in Kin via HSV Ferry to deploy to other areas in the Far East rather than flying.
