Forza Horizon 6 Map - Japan

Legend / Points of interest

The following legend of Japan interactive game map defines the points of interest / markers displayed on the map. Each marker corresponds to a specific element to facilitate efficient navigation and interaction with the map.

Treasure Chests

Treasure Chests are hidden, smashable boxes scattered across the game world that serve as the objective for weekly Treasure Hunts. Because these events are tied to the live-service seasonal calendar, each Treasure Chest is only available for a limited time before disappearing at the end of the weekly update.

Photo Subjects

Photo Subjects are the various types of landmarks, such as murals, that you need to photograph to complete certain Discovery Japan challenges.

Treasure Cars

Treasure Cars are rare, abandoned vehicles scattered throughout Japan's diverse landscapes. These cars are not housed in barns. Instead, they are left in the open world, often in scenic or secluded locations like industrial districts, docks, or overgrown rural areas.

Barn Finds

Barn Finds are hidden abandoned cars scattered across the open-world map of Japan. As you progress through the game, you unlock "Barn Find Rumors" that mark a search zone on your map. Inside each hidden barn is a rare or classic car that gets restored and added to your garage.

Player Houses

Player Houses are homes you can buy around the map that work as your personal bases. You can use them as spawn locations, manage your garage, and unlock bonuses like Wheelspins or extra Credits. Some houses also let you customize your garage, display cars, and decorate the space.

Festival Sites

In Forza Horizon-style games, Festival Sites are the main "hub locations" tied to the Horizon Festival - essentially the game's central bases of operation spread across the map. Festival Sites function as outposts where you interact with most core systems of the game.

Stories

Stories are narrative-driven mission chains that focus on specific characters, car cultures, and themed challenges within the Horizon Festival. Unlike regular races or championships, stories are designed to feel like short "mini-campaigns" that combine driving, storytelling, and unique gameplay scenarios.

Car Meets

Car Meets are social gathering spots where players can bring their cars to showcase builds, interact with other players, etc. These areas act as hubs for the game's automotive community rather than traditional race events.

Jobs

Jobs are side activities and missions you can complete outside the main racing career. They're part of the new progression systems and are designed to give players extra ways to earn credits, and XP.

Road Racing Events

Road Racing Events are the game's main street and asphalt racing series, focused on high-speed driving across Japan's highways, cities, mountain passes, and scenic roads.

Dirt Racing Events

Dirt Racing Events in Forza Horizon 6 are off-road festival races focused on gravel, mud, forest trails, mountain roads, and rally-style driving across Japan's countryside.

Cross Country Racing Events

Cross Country Racing Events are the game's most extreme off-road races, built around rough terrain, massive jumps, water crossings, and unrestricted driving routes across Japan's wilderness areas.

Touge Battles

Touge Battles are one-on-one mountain pass races inspired by Japanese street-racing culture, focused on tight corners, downhill and uphill driving, drifting, and precision rather than top speed. They mainly take place at night on narrow winding roads and are designed to test car control and driving skill in intense head-to-head battles.

Street Racing Events

In Forza Horizon 6, Street Racing Events are illegal-style nighttime races that take place on open public roads instead of closed festival circuits. These races focus on high-speed driving through active traffic routes rather than organized festival tracks.

Drag Racing Events

Drag Racing Events are straight-line sprint races where the only goal is to reach the finish line as quickly as possible, with no corners or technical driving involved. These events take place on dedicated drag strips or specially designated long, straight sections of highway or airport-style runways.

Wristband Events

Wristband Events are part of the game's main progression system, designed to control how players unlock new content as they advance through the Horizon Festival. Instead of giving access to everything from the start, the game uses Wristbands as a ranking structure that reflects your progress and reputation within the festival.

Time Attacks

Time Attack Events are a new type of open-world racing activity focused on setting the fastest possible lap times on dedicated circuits across Japan. Instead of entering races through menus, players simply drive through the gate to instantly begin a session with no loading screens.

Drag Meets

Speed Traps

Speed Traps are places on the road where your current speed will be measured. The speed measurement takes place when you drive in any direction through a gate located at that location.

Danger Signs

Danger Signs are special challenges in which you have to make a jump from a special ramp and fly as far as possible in the air. It is important to land correctly, otherwise the jump will not be scored. The distance achieved will be rated with 1-3 stars.

Drift Zones

Drift Zones are sections of road where your drifting skills will be rated. The evaluation starts when you drive onto the defined section of the road from either side. The score you achieve will be rated with 1-3 stars.

Trailblazers
