A bustling castle town, located along the coast, Minato is directly to the southwest. It serves as the political and military capital of Kiiro. It is also an important commercial hub, as many of the foreign goods acquired in Awaji pass through here on their way to the rest of Kiiro and Yamatai. The formidable Minato-ki, main seat of the Hosokawa clan, is located on a raised hill adjacent to the town.
