​In 1634 Sakai Tadakatsu (酒井忠勝) took control of the castle after the Kyogoku family moved to Izumo near Matsue. He finally completed the castle tower with 113,000 stones in 1636 with the tower reaching a height of 29m.
​Obama Castle became a residence of Sakai family in 14 generations, 238 years.
Obama Castle was held by the Sakai family up to the Meiji Restoration in 1868.

​Unpin  Jishi

​雲浜獅子

​​Oshiro Matsuri (Unpin Jishi)
A splendid traditional dance and love story carried from Kawagoe, the home of Musashi
​
The origins of Unpin Jishi: 
This lion dance was brought to the region when Takadatsu Sakai, the feudal lord of old Wakasa-Obama transferred from his fief in Kawagoe, Musashi to Obama in Kan'ei Year 11 (1634). Performers brought to Obama were called the "Kanto-gumi", given honorary samurai status, and were only permitted to dance for celebrations within the castle. 
They also made offerings to Hiromine Jinja at the time of the Gion Festival. 
Unpin Jishi was interrupted for some time following the abolition of the han (feudal) system, but was later revived. In Meiji Year 8 (1875), Obama Jinja was built in honor of the ancestral lord Takadatsu, and it is now performed at one of the largest festivals "Oshiro Matsuri", currently carried on by the residents of Ichibancho.
This is an annual festival of Obama Shrine. Traditional performing arts such as Unpin Lion and big drums are dedicated to the shrine.
​Unpin Lion has been conveying the story of fighting of two lions over one female lion with a gallant lion dance and beautiful melody.​
