Someday we will visit Kunashir or begin to dream about going there! However, for now its not on our radar.
Let us know in the comments if you think that should change!
Kunashir
Kunashir is the southernmost of the Kuril Islands in Sakhalin Oblast. Known Kunashiri (国後) in Japanese, the island is only 24 km away from Hokkaido, Japan, and is visible on a clear day. Appropriately enough, the Japanese characters mean "after the country", although the original Ainu name actually means "Black Island".
In 1789 Kunashir Island was one of the settings of the Menashi-Kunashiri Battle in which Ainu revolted against Japanese tradespeople and colonists.
The primary economic activity is the fishing industry. The island has a port next to Yuzhno-Kurilsk. the Kunashir Island enjoys a Mendeleevskaya GeoPP geothermal power plant with the capacity of 1.8 MW
