What Is the Dragon 76 Mural in Forza Horizon 6?
In Forza Horizon 6, Playground Games collaborated with nine real Japanese artists to place original murals across the Japan map. These are not generic decorations — they are authentic artworks created specifically for the game. One of the most visually striking is by Dragon76, a Japanese street artist whose real name is Satoshi Fujita.
Dragon76 blends street art, graffiti, manga, and traditional Ukiyo-e woodblock print into a bold, high-contrast style. His FH6 mural draws inspiration from the Nebuta Festival of the Tohoku region and the ancient Japanese myth of Susanoo slaying a dragon. The centerpiece of the piece is the word OUROBOROS — the symbol of a dragon biting its own tail, representing the connection between old and new. The result is a striking cyberpunk reimagining of traditional Japanese festival art.
Beyond looking incredible, the mural has a practical purpose. Photographing it awards you 100 Discover Japan Points, which go toward your Discover Japan Stamps. Those stamps are what unlock Barn Find rumors, new player houses, and other progression rewards. If you are working through the Discover Japan journal, this mural is one you do not want to skip.

Dragon 76 Mural Location in Forza Horizon 6
The Dragon 76 Mural is found on the north side of the Minamino region, right near the border with Hokubu. It is painted on the side of a white house along a road that runs between the two regions.

Here is how to get there depending on where you are coming from:
Coming From the South (Minamino Region)
Fast travel to the Shirakawa Circuit Horizon Festival race or the Hokubu and Minamino Day Trip event marker if you have either unlocked. Then head northwest along the road toward Hokubu. As you travel north, watch the left side of the road. You are looking for a white house. The mural is painted on its outer wall, facing north. It is visible from the road as you approach.
Coming From the North (Hokubu Region)
If you are already in the Hokubu region and heading south toward Minamino, the white house with the mural will appear on the right side of the road. It is near the regional border so keep an eye out as you cross from Hokubu into Minamino.
Nearby Landmarks to Help You Navigate
If you need additional reference points to pinpoint the location:
- The mural is very close to Shirakawa-go — a well-known landmark in the north Minamino area.
- It is near the Shirakawa Curves Drift Zone marker. Look for the white building west of that marker on your map.
- The Hokubu and Minamino regional border runs very close to this spot, so if you reach Hokubu, you have gone slightly too far north.
Once you spot the white house, pull up next to it. You will see the bold, colorful mural clearly on the outer wall. Then it is time to get your photo.

How to Photograph the Dragon 76 Mural
Driving past the mural is not enough — you need to actively photograph it in Photo Mode for the Discover Japan journal entry to register. Here is exactly how to do it:
- Stop your car near the Dragon 76 Mural.
- Open the main menu and tab over to Creative Hub.
- Select Photo Mode from the options under Tunes.
- Alternatively, press Up on the D-Pad as a quick shortcut to enter Photo Mode instantly without going through the menu.
- Frame the mural in your shot so it is clearly visible.
- Press RB/R1 or A/X to take the photo.
- If done correctly, you will receive a notification confirming 100 Discover Japan Points earned.
The journal entry will tick off automatically once the shot is registered. You do not need to do anything else after taking the photo — it is instant.

Why Discover Japan Points Matter
Every mural photograph earns you 100 Discover Japan Points. These points push you toward higher Discover Japan Stamps. There are 7 stamp tiers in total, from Yellow (Visitor) all the way to Gold (Master Explorer).
Why does this matter? Because stamps are tied to some of the best rewards in the game:
- Barn Find rumors — Each new stamp tier unlocks new Barn Find locations on your map, revealing hidden classic cars you can restore and add to your garage. The full list is in the Forza Horizon 6 Barn Find Locations guide.
- New Player Houses — Higher stamps unlock additional houses you can purchase, each with their own bonus perks.
- Master Explorer achievement/trophy — Reaching Gold stamp status earns you the Master Explorer reward.
- Toyota Chaser V — Completing the full Photography category in the Discover Japan journal rewards you with this car.
Photographing all 8 murals is one of the most efficient ways to stack Discover Japan Points early in the game. Each one gives you a clean 100 points with almost no effort once you know where to look.
About the Dragon 76 Mural – The Art Behind It
Dragon76, whose real name is Satoshi Fujita, was born in 1976 in Shiga, Japan. His unique artistic language sits at the crossroads of past and future — mixing Ukiyo-e woodblock print traditions with modern graffiti lettering and manga-style energy lines.
For Forza Horizon 6, Playground Games sent Dragon76 to Japan’s Tohoku region with a Toyota Land Cruiser as part of the “The Art of Driving” documentary series. The journey gave him direct access to the regional culture and festivals that shaped his piece for the game.
His mural is inspired by the Nebuta Festival — Tohoku’s famous summer festival known for its enormous illuminated floats depicting figures from Japanese mythology. These floats are built from washi paper and wire and depict scenes from ancient folklore, often shown in larger-than-life scale.
The FH6 mural centers on Susanoo-no-Mikoto, the storm god from Japanese mythology, alongside a coiling dragon. Both figures are rendered in Dragon76’s signature bold, high-contrast style — angular linework, vivid color blocks, and an unmistakable energy that pulls from Nebuta’s dramatic scale. The word OUROBOROS appears in the composition, representing the circular relationship between tradition and the future.
As Dragon76 himself described the piece: “Driven by Heritage.” It reflects the idea that traditions passed down from the past become the driving force toward the future.
All 8 Mural Locations in Forza Horizon 6
The Dragon 76 Mural is just one of 8 artist murals spread across Japan’s map. All 8 are part of the Discover Japan Photography Collection. None of them are marked on the map, so you need to know where to look for each one. Here is a quick overview of all 8 to help you plan your route:
- Dragon 76 Mural – North side of Minamino region, on a white house near the Hokubu border. West of the Shirakawa Curves Drift Zone marker.
- Wakana Yamazaki Mural – Shimanoyama region, in the Narai-juku area. On a white building on the southernmost road near a grassy field.
- Kazuhisa Mural – Sotoyama region, on a building between the mountain slopes and Sotoyama Ski Resort.
- Lady Aiko Mural – Northwest of Tokyo City, near the baseball field close to a Food Delivery job area. This one is tricky as Tokyo City is packed with buildings.
- Kenji Iwasaki Mural – Near the top of the Ohtani region, on the wall of a building beside red electricity pylons.
- Tatsuro Kiuchi Mural – Shimanoyama region, on a building below the radio tower.
- Okuyama Taiki Mural – Ito region, on the hangar at the south side of Ito Airfield.
- Rural Mural (Naoshi / Hokubu) – Small town in the middle of the Hokubu region, south of the Tall Trees Speed Zone. On the side of a building — easy to miss.
Photographing all 8 murals completes the mural section of your Discover Japan Photography Collection and earns you a meaningful chunk of the points needed to push through the stamp tiers.
Tips for Completing the Photography Collection Faster
The full Photography Collection in the Discover Japan journal has 26 items in total. Murals are 8 of them. The other entries include landmarks, seasonal items, and special locations scattered across all regions. Here are a few tips to knock them out efficiently:
- Use the D-Pad shortcut. Pressing Up on the D-Pad enters Photo Mode instantly while driving. You do not need to stop fully — just slow down near the target and snap.
- Do murals in a single sweep. The 8 murals span most of the map regions. Plan a route from south to north and tick them all off in one session. Combine with other Discover Japan activities like smashing Regional Mascots along the same route.
- Photograph race grids. For the Horizon Promo photography (which requires 619 cars), use the Quickshot function at race starts to photograph 6–7 different cars with almost no time lost.
- Complete the full collection for a free car. Finishing all 26 Photography spots rewards you with the Toyota Chaser V plus Credits at milestone points along the way. It is worth doing.
For broader Discover Japan stamp farming, winning Touge Battles and Street Races are the fastest sources of points alongside photography. Check individual touge guides like the Mt. Haruna Touge Guide and Bandai Azuma Touge Guide to win those races consistently.
