Tomari (Russian: Томари) is a coastal town and the administrative center of Tomarinsky District of Sakhalin Oblast, Russia, located on the western coast of the Sakhalin Island, 167 kilometers (104 mi) northwest of Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk. Population: 5,338 (2002 Census);[5] 8,121 (1989 Soviet census).[6]
History
It was founded in 1870. Along with the rest of the southern portion of Sakhalin, it was placed under Japanese control by the Treaty of Portsmouth in 1905 and remained so until 1945, during which time it bore the name of Tomarioru (泊居), derived from an Ainu term meaning on the bay.
It reverted to the Soviet Union in 1945 and was granted town status and renamed Tomari in 1946.

Economy and infrastructure
Fish, coil and timber are extracted in the town. The largest industrial facility in the town, a paper factory, went bankrupt in the mid-1990s: its collapse provoked a large emigration.
It lies on the railway connecting Kholmsk with Ilinsky.
