'''Kunashir''' (_K___~_p___y__) is the southernmost of the Kuril Islands in Sakhalin Oblast. Known ''Kunashiri'' (____) 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".
