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:
Can you find the “Obama-manju” logo?

Maybe Obama will visit there as President someday.
I like the “ganbare Obama” sign in the last pic. ^^
