Part of Japan where the whole Scottish family at home? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

okinawa

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'part of japan' is the definition.
(I know that Japan contains administrative territorial entity Okinawa)

'the whole scottish family at home?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'family' could be 'kin' (synonyms) and 'kin' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'where' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for okinawa that I've seen before include "Pacific island" , "Campaign in the closing days of World War II in the Pacific" , "Japanese location" , "Region of southern Japan, scene of fierce fighting in 1945" , "battle!" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
