First, I would like to say that this article is a good effort.
I have thoroughly read the article as well as checked the references in Japanese. The references are good.
However, the article requires copy-editing to be more concise. Some wordings might also require tuning. Examples include:
"Out of the seven candidates, this route was selected as the first bus route of this plan. The bus route opened as the Okata Line (岡多線) on 20 December 1930 with seven buses and ten trucks. This bus line has since been abolished in 2002."
While this is partially related to the Aichi Loop, using such a long paragraph to describe a bus route in a railway article is not necessary, and might cause confusion among readers.
"After making deficits, the line was transferred to the third-sector company Aichi Loop Railway in 1988."
"Making deficit" is not a usual way to describe the event. Consider using "Due to financial deficits,..".
I may make this edit later.
"The company was funded by the government, Aichi Prefecture, passing municipalities, etc."
I have no idea what this sentence is referring to. The previous paragraph was talking about Toyota, but I suppose this sentence is referring to the joint venture railway company. Maybe just say "The Aichi Loop Line Company was funded by Aichi Prefecture"?
I also read the Japanese wiki page. While it is not necessary to refer to the Japanese page, some of the information present there might be useful to English readers. Also consider using some of the historic pictures in the Japanese wiki page to make the English page more approachable.
Since GA requires "the prose is clear, concise, and understandable to an appropriately broad audience", I have to unfortunately fail this article.
However, with proper editing, I think this article can be re-nominated.
