In Forza Horizon 6, Japan is packed with secret rides waiting to be found. These “Hidden Cars” mainly come from two systems: Treasure Cars (Japan’s version of Barn Finds) and Rare Free-Roam Builds scattered across the map. Here’s how to track them down like a pro.

Treasure Cars: Japan’s Evolution of Barn Finds

Treasure Cars replace the classic barn finds with a Japanese twist. These are iconic cars left abandoned, waiting for a skilled driver like you to discover and restore.

• How it Works: Mei, a Japanese car builder you meet in the game, will give you photographic clues. Study the photos carefully and match them with the real-world landmarks in Japan’s map.
• Restoration: Once located, you can restore the car instantly. Drive it, show it off, or add it to your garage.
• Confirmed Locations: There are 9 Treasure Cars hidden across Japan.
• Examples of Cars:
  • 1991 Nissan Figaro
  • 1985 Nissan Safari Turbo
  • 1969 Dodge Charger R/T

These rides often require careful exploration, as they’re tucked away in both urban streets and rural backroads.

Rare Free-Roam Builds

FH6 also introduces rare custom builds that appear in free-roam. These aren’t part of menus or the auction house—they’re physically placed around the map.

• Direct Purchase: Drive up to the car and buy it immediately. No extra menus needed.
• Random Spawns: Their locations are random, so exploring every street of Tokyo and the surrounding mountain passes is key.

Exploration Tips for Hidden Cars

Finding these vehicles is more than just driving—they reward careful exploration:

• Use Interactive Maps: The community has created FH6 interactive maps showing exact locations for all 9 Treasure Cars and hidden collectibles.
• Check the Collection Journal: FH6 adds a new Collection Journal, inspired by Japan’s stamp-collecting culture (Goshuin). It tracks your discoveries and gives rewards for finding landmarks and hidden cars.
• Focus on Biomes: Each part of Japan has different cars. Search:
  • Neon-lit Tokyo City streets
  • Japanese Alps near Mt. Fuji
  • Winding mountain passes like Mt. Akina

Exploring every district and following clues carefully is the fastest way to unlock Japan’s hidden automotive treasures.
