Shirakawa-go, a picturesque countryside village, is a notable landmark in Forza Horizon 6 that players can visit to immerse themselves in Japanese tourist sights. Discovering this location is particularly useful for completing the Series 5 autumn #RuralLotus photo challenge, provided players are driving a specific vehicle.
Locating Shirakawa-go
Shirakawa-go is situated in the northern part of the Minamino region. For players looking for a reference point, the Ruriko-ji Temple is in the same general area. Heading southeast from the temple will lead players to the village. While a sign for "Shirakawa-go" appears on the in-game map, the village itself is located slightly east of this marker, across the river.
For players who have already explored the area, fast travel is an option by using the X/Square button on a controller or the X key on a keyboard. Those earlier in the game can utilize fast travel to the Shirakawa Circuit or the Hokubu and Minamino Day Trip headquarters as alternative starting points.
Completing the #RuralLotus Photo Challenge
Visiting Shirakawa-go allows players to complete the #RuralLotus photo challenge, which is part of the game's "British Automotive" autumn playlist. To successfully finish the challenge, players must drive a Lotus car and capture a photograph of it within the village boundaries. Successful completion rewards players with two seasonal points and the "Sea Thieves Theme" legendary car horn. It is important to note that taking photos in the off-road areas west of the village will not count towards the challenge. The car must be positioned within the main area of Shirakawa-go.
Additionally, while in the region, players may wish to search for the hidden barn find located west of Shirakawa-go village. Opening this barn will unlock the Nissan Pao.
