The MAXI/GSC auto transient-alert system has detected a new activity from a binary X-ray pulsar, GX 304-1 on 2010-12-08. The current source activity is the fourth event since the MAXI/GSC observation started on 2009 August. The source flux started to increase on 2010-12-05 (MJD 55535.5) and reached 20 mCrab (2-20 keV) on 2010-12-08 (MJD 55538.5). Comparing with the previous outburst (Atel#2779), the current flux increase is about 1-week earlier than that of the previous one within the orbital cycle of 132.5-day period.
