Japan Central Bus will start operating early morning services from Maebashi, Takasaki, and Fujioaka to Tokyo Station from June 1.
The service departs from Maebashi Bus Center at 2:45 a.m., stops at the south exit of Maebashi Station, Takasaki Bus Center, the east exit of Takasaki Station, and Fujioaka Interchange, arriving at Bus Terminal Tokyo Yaesu at 5:30 a.m.
