There is a train station in Japan called Obama (小浜: little beach). The station is located in a city called Obama and there is a train line called Obama that arrives to the Obama station.

For example, a local company decided to produce “obama-manju” (Manju is a type of Japanese traditional sweet) and they are selling tons of it. This is how an “obama-manju” looks like:
