Recently, I run from my house to Tanukidani temple to lose my weight. Though it takes 15 minutes till I arrive the entry of the temple, the temple has 250 steps. It is hard to climb them. At the end of the steps, there is a main hall of a temple. It looks like little Kiyomizu temple, but I have no photo. If you want to see it, you should go up the steps by your own two feet like me!

I see, ありがとうございます！

It is also good to say, "good morning", to passing-by people!
Today, I passed by 10 people at least. Many people seems to climb the stairs up for their health.

  • It is hard to climb them up.

Has to be either "climb up them" or "climb them"

  • to lose (some) weight.

 
  • Though it takes 15 minutes till I arrive the entry of the temple, the temple has 250 steps.

  • or: Though it only takes 15 minutes to arrive to the main (public) entrance, I still have to climb 250 steps before reaching the main hall of the temple / altar. "entry of temple" is ok, but "temple entrance" is shorter for the context of your sentence

 
  • It is hard to climb them.

  • It is hard to climb up them.

 
  • At the end of the steps, there is a main hall of a temple.

  • At the end of the steps, there is a main hall of a temple. this is already explained in the above sentence

 
  • It looks like little Kiyomizu temple, but I have no photo.

  • but I don't have a photo.

 

hi shin-chan! long time no see..
I see you are making progress with your English. You could count the steps in English for extra practice. ^^
I hope you achieve your fitness goals for the summer. ~_~

Hi!

It is easy to make a excuse not to do excise some time.... "The weather is bad", "I have many thing to do", or "It is bad for my body to lose weight rapidly". I wish the summer is far from today.... in order to go up more extra steps.

I'm happy to see your good corrections, thank you!

> in order to go up more extra steps.

Maybe you can find another temple nearby and climb two temples in one day. ^^
