二条城に二重価格 京都市民は1000円、市外の人は2000円にする案
Two Prices for a Famous Castle in Kyoto
1Kyoto plans to charge visitors from outside the city more to enter Nijo Castle. The castle is a UNESCO World Heritage site.
2Kyoto Mayor Koji Matsui announced the plan on October 1. Now, adults pay 1,300 yen to see the castle and its palace. Under the plan, people who live in Kyoto would pay 1,000 yen. Visitors from outside the city would pay 2,000 yen.
3This kind of system is called dual pricing. The city says it needs more money to protect and repair the old buildings.
4The city will ask its assembly to change the rules in November. It hopes to start the new prices in fiscal 2027. Elementary and junior high school students who live in Kyoto can already enter for free.

全文訳
1京都市は、市外から来る人の二条城の入城料を高くする計画です。二条城はユネスコの世界遺産です。
2京都市の松井孝治市長が、10月1日にこの計画を発表しました。いまは、大人が城と御殿を見るのに1300円はらいます。計画では、京都市に住む人は1000円になります。市外から来る人は2000円になります。
3このようなしくみは「二重価格」と呼ばれます。市は、古い建物を守り、修理するためにもっとお金が必要だと説明しています。
4市は11月に、市議会に決まりを変えるよう求める予定です。2027年度から新しい料金にしたい考えです。京都市に住む小学生と中学生は、いまでも無料で入れます。
文法ポイント：助動詞 would（～することになる）
計画や仮の話について「（そうなれば）～することになる」を表す。本文の people who live in Kyoto would pay 1,000 yen は「（計画が実現すれば）京都市民は1000円をはらうことになる」という意味。
