The Forza Treasure Hunt in Forza Horizon 6 points players to a chest just off the main road west of Tokyo. Driving into it pays 100,000 Credits, so the shortest route is the only one that matters.
The Shimanoyama Region Treasure Hunt sits inside the Series 5 Week 3 Festival Playlist, and its hint says: “Follow the Photo Clue to Discover the Treasure!”
Shimanoyama Region west of Tokyo
The chest is not buried in a hard-to-read map marker. It sits just off the road west of Tokyo, and it becomes highly visible from both directions once players get close, which cuts down the search to a single stretch of pavement rather than a broad sweep of the region.
That matters for anyone trying to clear the weekly task quickly, because the Treasure Hunt rewards the same 100,000 Credits no matter how long the search takes.
Photo clue and chest visibility
The clue asks players to follow a photo clue, but the practical trick is simpler than it sounds: only a treasure chest surrounded by snow is visible at first, so the search starts with spotting the winter setting before closing in on the chest itself.
Once the chest is in view, there is no hidden sequence to finish. The player only needs to drive into it to collect the reward and complete the Treasure Hunt.
Weekly challenge at Shirakawa-Go
The same Winter season also carries a separate weekly challenge built around the 2010 Jaguar C-X 75, which must be bought, photographed at Shirakawa-Go, and then used for two Road Races before being parked at any Car Meet.
That second task pays five points and 25,000 Credits, while the seasonal rewards on offer elsewhere include the 2006 Vauxhall Astra VXR for 20 points and the 2016 Bentley Bentayga for 40 points.
The missing piece is whether players can read the photo clue cleanly enough to reach the west-of-Tokyo chest without already knowing the area, because the guide gives the location but not the clue’s in-game visual logic.
