You have two options;

1. Shinkansen (Bullet train) from Tokyo Station to Takasaki (the only Shinkansen stop in Gunma). Takes about 35 minutes but costs US$40.

2. Takasaki-sen which is the ordinary train and leaves from Ueno Station (about 3 stations north from Tokyo). Takes about 90 minutes and only costs US$12.

I live in Takasaki and the Subaru factory is in Ota City which is about 70 minutes by car from my place.
