Forza Horizon 6 Hakone Touge Race Unlock Guide

Players taking on the Series 1 Summer Festival Playlist in Forza Horizon 6 (FH6) are discovering that the Hakone Nanamagari Touge event does not immediately appear on the map. The race is tied to the ‘Gazoo Racer’ weekly challenge and is required to earn 25K credits (CR) alongside five summer season points.

The weekly challenge revolves around the 2022 Toyota GR86, which can be purchased from the Autoshow for 28K CR if players do not already own it.

FH6 Hakone Touge Location and Unlock Guide

The event is located in the Nangan region on the southwestern side of the Forza Horizon 6 Japan map, near Tokyo City. Player guides and gameplay walkthroughs shared after the challenge launched on May 21, 2026, indicate that the race is locked behind campaign progression. Players must advance through the Discover Japan Stamp system and reach the Blue or Traveller Stamp level before the event becomes available.

Players who still cannot see the marker are being advised to drive directly through the winding southern Nangan mountain roads, as the event can trigger after discovering the route manually.

To unlock and complete the challenge quickly:

• Buy or use the 2022 Toyota GR86.
• Earn three stars at any speed zone.
• Collect six Speed Skills while driving the GR86.
• Head to the southern Nangan mountain roads.
• Drive through the area if the event marker does not appear immediately.
• Win the Hakone Nanamagari Touge race.

Forza Horizon 6 Touge Battle Tips

The event has become one of the more discussed Forza Horizon 6 Touge battles because of its narrow downhill roads and repeated hairpin corners. Community recommendations suggest keeping the GR86 in its stock B-Class setup, since braking control, corner stability, and weight transfer matter more than outright speed on the course.

Players can also find a hidden 1971 Nissan Skyline 2000GT-R barn in the southwestern Nangan region, west of the Hakone Nanamagari route. Furthermore, players struggling with the race can lower AI difficulty from the race settings, as the challenge has no difficulty requirement.
