If you're exploring the stunning landscapes of Japan in Forza Horizon 6, you might notice that some hidden art pieces can make your Discover Japan photography challenge even more rewarding. One standout is the Kenji Iwasaki mural—a bold, colorful piece tucked away in the Sotoyama Region.
Exact Map Location
Region: Sotoyama
- Placement: Eastern exterior wall of a mid-sized building
Nearby Landmarks: Just north of the Snow Forest Cross-Country Circuit race marker and slightly north of the Sotoyama Ski Resort slopes
This location makes it easy to spot once you're in the right area, but the building itself is relatively tucked behind some winding mountain roads, so keep an eye on the map and landmarks.
For those who want to accelerate their progress or stock up on vehicles for these photo challenges, U4N offers a safe way to buy Forza Horizon 6 credits, helping you unlock and upgrade cars instantly for your exploration and photography missions.
How to Complete the Photo Challenge
- Drive to the Mural: Any car will do, but if you want a dynamic shot, pick a vehicle with a bright color that contrasts with the purple and blue tones of the mural.
- Open Photo Mode: On an Xbox controller, press Up on the D-pad to enter Photo Mode. Adjust your camera to get both the mural and your car in frame.
- Capture the Image: Take your photo while making sure the artwork is fully visible. You don't need to be perfect—slight variations will still count for the Discover Japan collection.
This mural counts as Photograph 7 of 26 in your Discover Japan journal, so completing it will push you closer to unlocking all of the region's hidden art collectibles.
Extra Tips
- Time of Day: The mural looks striking during daylight, but night shots with car headlights can create an artistic effect.
- Driving Path: Approach the building from the main road north of the ski slopes for easier access—mountain paths can be narrow.
- EventLab Shortcut: If you're looking to save time, some players have created EventLab share codes that spawn you near the mural instantly. Check community forums for updated codes.
Exploring hidden art in FH6 is more than just chasing points—it's about experiencing Japan's vertical and varied landscapes while collecting unique visuals for your journal. Don't miss the Kenji Iwasaki mural during your Sotoyama adventures.
