Forza Horizon 6: Tokyo Tower Location for the Autumn Photo Challenge

TL;DR

• The Tokyo Tower is in the western half of Tokyo City in Forza Horizon 6.
• It sits just south of the Tokyo City Food Delivery Job marker on your map.
• You must take the photo at the base of the tower — not from a distance.
• Press D-Pad Up to enter photo mode, frame the tower base and your car, then snap.
• Reward: 2 Autumn Festival Playlist points and the “Oooh…Shiny!” Forza Link phrase.
• Bonus: First-time visit also gives 100 Discover Japan Points.

Forza Horizon 6: Tokyo Tower Location is one of those things that sounds obvious but trips up a lot of players. The tower is right there in Tokyo City — tall, red, and impossible to miss once you are nearby. But when you are navigating a dense city map at speed, pinpointing the exact spot is harder than it sounds. This guide gives you the exact location and tells you everything you need to know to complete the Autumn Photo Challenge in a single quick stop. The game is available on Forza.net, Steam, Xbox, and PlayStation.

What Is the Tokyo Tower Photo Challenge?

The Tokyo Tower Photo Challenge is part of the Autumn week of Series 1: Welcome to Japan in the Festival Playlist. It asks you to travel to the iconic Tokyo Tower and take a photo of your car at its base.

It is one of the quickest challenges in the playlist. You do not need to race. You do not need a specific car. You just drive to the tower, enter photo mode, take the shot, and collect your rewards.

This challenge is also a good companion to the Minamino Region Treasure Hunt, which is another fast playlist task you should knock out during the same Autumn week.

Where Is Tokyo Tower in Forza Horizon 6?

Tokyo Tower is on the western side of Tokyo City. It sits roughly in the middle of the western half of the city, just north of the main highway running through the area.

The fastest reference point to find it is the Tokyo City Food Delivery Job icon on your map. Once you spot that blue bag marker, drive a few seconds south down the street and you will run straight into the base of the tower.

On the map itself, look for a grey square shape with four legs extending from its corners — that distinctive footprint is Tokyo Tower. It is hard to miss once you know what to look for. The tower is close to the starting house in the northern part of the city and not far from Shibuya Crossing.

For a full look at Tokyo and the rest of the game’s map, check out the Forza Horizon 6 Japan map guide.

How to Complete the Tokyo Tower Photo Challenge

Once you are at the tower, follow these steps:

• Drive right up to the base. Taking a photo from a distance will not count. You need to be right next to one of the four feet of the tower.
• Press D-Pad Up to enter photo mode.
• Frame your shot so the base of the tower is clearly visible, with your car nearby.
• Press A (Xbox) or X (PlayStation) to take the photo.
• The challenge will complete instantly once the game registers the shot.

You do not need your car to be perfectly centered. You just need the base of the tower visible in the frame. Tilt the camera upward slightly to get the tower structure in the shot and you are done.

Tokyo Tower Photo Challenge Rewards

Completing the challenge gives you:

• 2 Autumn Festival Playlist points
• “Oooh…Shiny!” Forza Link exclamation phrase — equip this in the Forza Link section of the main menu to use in multiplayer
• 100 Discover Japan Points — but only if this is your first time visiting Tokyo Tower

The 2 playlist points go toward your seasonal wristband progression. The Autumn rewards track needs:

• 15 points — 1997 Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec
• 30 points — 1991 Honda CR-X SiR

Every point counts, and the photo challenge is one of the easiest 2 points you will earn all week.

What Are Discover Japan Points?

Discover Japan Points are earned by visiting landmarks across Japan for the first time. Tokyo Tower is one of those landmarks. Your first visit earns you 100 Discover Japan Points automatically, even before you take the photo.

As you collect enough Discover Japan Points, you unlock Stamps. Stamps are important because they unlock rumors about Barn Find locations and give you access to buyable houses around the map.

See the full breakdown in the Discover Japan stamps guide.

Is the Tokyo Tower Photo Challenge Time-Limited?

Yes. This challenge is only available during the Autumn week of Series 1: Welcome to Japan. Once the season flips to Winter, this challenge is replaced with a new one. The next Photo Challenge in the Winter week appears to be located outside a stadium.

So grab it before the season changes. It takes less than two minutes to complete once you know where the tower is.

What Else Is Near Tokyo Tower?

While you are in western Tokyo for the photo challenge, it is worth doing a few other nearby tasks at the same time:

• Nissan Figaro Treasure Car — One of the hidden free cars is parked in the Tokyo area. Grab it while you are nearby. See the Nissan Figaro Treasure Car location.
• Bonus Boards — Several XP and Fast Travel boards are scattered around western Tokyo. Collecting them saves time later. See the all 200 Bonus Boards locations guide.
• Mascots — The all 200 mascots locations guide will show you any collectibles near the tower.
• Tokyo City Races — Several street and circuit races are set in this part of the city. Good time to tick them off too.
