Forza Horizon 6 Guide: Where To Find The Minamino Treasure Chest

Quick Answer: Fast travel to the golf course in the Minamino region, just northeast of Tokyo City. Drive to the highest hill in the northwest corner of the greens, look for the golf hole with a white flag, and smash the blue wooden chest sitting right next to it to instantly claim 100,000 credits.

The Autumn season just dropped in the Welcome to Japan playlist, meaning another fat stack of credits is up for grabs. Knocking out the Minamino treasure hunt is essentially free money, dropping 100,000 credits directly into your bank account while awarding you three crucial seasonal points.

You are absolutely going to want those points if you are grinding the current series. Getting this chest puts you significantly closer to unlocking the current seasonal reward vehicles.

Decoding The Playlist Photo Clue

When you check the festival playlist, the game provides a remarkably unhelpful teaser image. It shows a bright blue wooden box resting on perfectly manicured grass with a golf course in the background.

Knowing it is a golf course doesn’t actually help much when you are staring down a massive map of Japan. Instead of wasting half an hour driving your hypercar into random sand traps all over the country, you need to focus your search entirely on the Minamino region. This specific golf club sits just north and slightly northeast of the main Tokyo City sprawl.

The Fastest Travel Shortcuts

If you want to skip the scenic highway drive out of the city, you can use nearby event markers as makeshift teleport pads.

• Open your map and hover over the Minamino region.
• Locate either the Airfield Trail dirt race or the Naruo Cross Country Circuit.
• Fast travel to either of these event starting lines.
• Turn your car to the west and drive straight onto the grass.

While you are parked out on the scenic greens, it might be the perfect time to snap a picture of your ride. If your screenshots keep coming out looking like grainy security footage, read our Forza Horizon 6 guide on how to capture and download pristine wallpapers to properly dial in your camera settings.

Tracking Down the Exact Chest Location

Once your tires are actually on the fairway, navigate your way toward the western boundary of the golf club. You are looking for a very specific, prominent hill located near the northwest section of the course.

Push your car up that grassy incline and head toward the thick tree line. As you crest the hill, you will spot a standard golf hole marked by a bright white flag. The treasure chest is parked right next to the pin.

Unlike the classic Barn Finds hidden around the map, you do not have to sit through a cinematic cutscene to collect your loot. Just point your front bumper at the box and step on the gas. Smashing through the wood instantly deposits the 100,000 credits into your wallet.

Considering how incredibly expensive some of the high-end vintage racers are in the Autoshow right now, you need every single credit you can get your hands on. Grab your cash, clear out the Tokyo Tower photo challenge if you haven’t already, and secure your playlist points before the Winter season rolls in!
