Korsakov, Port town in southern Sakhalin, Russia
The port town of Korsakov stands at 30 meters above sea level on the southern coast of Sakhalin Island, facing the Aniva Gulf waters.
Founded as Fort Muravyovsky in 1853, the settlement changed names and control between Russia and Japan until 1945 when it became permanently Russian territory.
The local population maintains fishing traditions that date back to the original Ainu inhabitants, with frequent celebrations centered around maritime activities.
Regular bus services connect Korsakov to Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, while ferry services link the town to Wakkanai in Japan for trips under 72 hours without visa requirements.
The town operates several fish processing facilities that handle catches from the Sea of Okhotsk, supporting the primary industry of the local population.
