Takasaki Station is a major junction railway station located in the city of Takasaki, Gunma, Japan, operated by the East Japan Railway Company and the private railway operator Jōshin Dentetsu. It is also a freight depot for the Japan Freight Railway Company.

The Shinetsu Main Line is a railway line, consisting of three geographically separated sections, operated by the East Japan Railway Company in Japan. It was originally one continuous line connecting Takasaki and Niigata via Nagano. Since the opening and later extension of the Hokuriku Shinkansen, sections running in parallel have either been discontinued or transferred to third-sector railway companies.
