For an article on a World Heritage Site claimed to be "one of the finest wooden churches in Japan", this article is disappointingly short, only four paragraphs. The history section makes a sudden jump from its completion in 1918 to its repainting in 2001, with nothing in between. Much of the content is sourced to tourism-promotion web sites, rather than scholarly sources (which do exist; see [1], [2], [3], for examples). I think this is a quick fail, unfortunately; the content it has appears largely ok, and I think it's a high-quality start-class article on its topic, but it's very far from meeting WP:GACR #3 (broad-enough coverage of its topic) and also farther than it should be from #2b (citations are from reliable sources). I think this would need such significant expansion to be ready for GA that it would essentially be a new article, and that providing a full review for it in its present state (beyond the need for expansion and to put more effort into seeking high-quality sources) would not be helpful.
