Forza Horizon 6 Open World Guide: Statue of Hachikō

Where to Find the Statue of HachikōThe statue is located directly around the center area of Shibuya Crossing. If you are already driving through Tokyo City, reaching the location is straightforward since the crossing is one of the most recognizable intersections in the game.When you arrive at the crossing, slow down and look carefully toward the sidewalks and pedestrian plazas surrounding the intersection. The Statue of Hachikō is not a massive monument. It is a relatively small bronze dog statue positioned close to the crowds and city decorations, so it can blend into the environment if you drive past too quickly.Because the crossing is packed with visual details, many players accidentally overlook the statue on their first visit. A slower approach helps a lot.Best Way to Spot the LandmarkA useful trick is to stop your car near the middle of the intersection and rotate the camera slowly toward the pedestrian areas. Instead of searching for a large structure, focus on smaller decorative objects near benches, railings, and walking paths.The statue itself resembles the real-world Hachikō memorial found in Tokyo and stands out once you know what you are looking for. During daytime lighting and clear weather, it becomes much easier to identify.How to Complete the Photo ChallengeAfter locating the statue, completing the challenge only takes a few seconds.

1. Bring your vehicle to a complete stop somewhere inside the crossing area.
2. Open Photo Mode by pressing Up on the D-pad if you are using a controller, or press P on keyboard.
3. Rotate the camera toward the sidewalk section where the statue stands.
4. Zoom in slightly if needed so the bronze dog statue is clearly visible in frame.
5. Take the picture to register the landmark.

Once the photo is accepted, the challenge will count toward your Discover Japan journal progress and reward you with points instantly.Why This Landmark Stands OutWhat makes the Statue of Hachikō memorable in Forza Horizon 6 is how different it feels from the game’s larger sightseeing locations. Instead of focusing on scale, this landmark captures the atmosphere of modern Tokyo street culture.The busy traffic, neon city backdrop, and crowded crossing create a completely different exploration experience compared to the rural roads and mountain regions elsewhere on the map. It is one of those small details that makes the open world feel more believable and lived-in.For completion-focused players, this is also one of the easier journal locations once you know exactly where to look. The hardest part is simply noticing the statue among all the activity happening around Shibuya Crossing.
