To investigate the relation between a large-scale stellar bar and circumnuclear starburst, the CO (J=1→0) emission of circumnuclear regions of three starburst galaxies NGC2782, NGC3504, and M83 (NGC5236) have been mapped with the Nobeyama Millimeter Array. The high resolution CO (J=1→0) images indicate that the molecular gas in the three starburst galaxies is located interior to the innermost ends of the paired straight dust lanes. The molecular gas at the small radii is associated with their circumnuclear starburst sites which are indicated by radio continuum emission.
