South Sakhalin island was controlled by Japan until 1945, and there was an airfield there, so it represents a valid target.
And, if the Japanese had more fuel, I'm certain that they would have attempted to provide air support for Sakhalin during the Soviet invasion in 1945 from bases on Hokkaido.
Given that there was very little action on the Kamchatka peninsula during the war (mostly U.S. bombers flying parallel to it on "great circle" flights from the Aleutians). I'd change the area covered by the map so take in as much of Hokkaido as you can (ideally including Sapporo and Chitose), plus the three most southern of the Kurile islands and the tip of Sakhalin.
