Where to find the Shimanoyama region Treasure Hunt in Forza Horizon 6
PC Gamer explains how to complete Forza Horizon 6’s Shimanoyama region Treasure Hunt by using the in-game photo clue to locate the hidden chest. The guide matters because the hunt offers a quick way to earn Festival Playlist progress and credits without lengthy trial and error.
The activity awards 3 Festival Playlist points and 100,000 CR. It is part of the Series 4 Summer playlist, and the chest is located in Shimanoyama; players must follow the pictured landmark rather than complete an additional driving challenge.

Explained simply
Forza Horizon 6 is a racing game set in an open world, where players can explore, compete in events and earn in-game credits, shown as CR. Its Festival Playlist groups limited-time activities into seasonal series, and completing them earns points towards playlist rewards.
Treasure Hunts are one type of playlist activity: players use a clue to find a hidden chest. The Shimanoyama hunt is tied to the Summer part of Series 4, and finding its chest earns points and credits, so it can help players make progress through the playlist.
