Overall: @Aoidh: Good article. Though "Gansen-ji has a wooden Japanese pagoda, two stone pagodas, and a stone chamber that have each been recognized as Nationally Designated Important Cultural Property." should be cited. Also, citation 8 should have a page number. Onegreatjoke (talk) 01:57, 21 June 2023 (UTC)Reply
@Onegreatjoke: Thanks, I've copied the references from the subsequent sentences in that section to append to that sentence as well, and added the page number to the book (until I looked with fresh eyes I couldn't figure out how to tell what page that was). - Aoidh (talk) 03:02, 21 June 2023 (UTC)Reply
