History

Oda Nobunaga's second son, Nobukatsu was awarded the domain around Kanra in Gunma and the domain of Uda in Nara in 1617 for supporting the Tokugawa at the Siege of Osaka. He gave Kanra to his fourth son, Nobuyoshi, whose son Nobumasa started building the Jin'ya in 1629. The Jin'ya was finished in 1642. From 1767 the Matsudaira were given command of the Obata domain, and in 1851 Matsudaira Tadashige was promoted to a castle holding status, so Obata JIn'ya formally became Obata Castle (Obata-jo). The castle was dismantled by the Meiji Government in 1873.
