Forza Horizon 6 places Horizon Stadium in the Shimanoyama region on the far western edge of the map, right beside the main lake. It's one of the largest and most distinctive structures in the game, a massive circular arena that's hard to miss once you know where to look. Two separate Festival Playlist challenges send you here: the Stadium Scenery daily photo challenge and the Homerun Collectibles mascot hunt. Both are quick to finish once you know exactly where to go and what to do.
Where is Horizon Stadium in Forza Horizon 6?
Open the World Map and scroll to the western mainland. Horizon Stadium sits in the Shimanoyama region, positioned directly beside the large lake on the western edge. Its circular shape is visible even at a zoomed-out view, making it one of the easier landmarks to identify without a waypoint.
Several roads lead straight to the stadium, so dropping a waypoint on the circular structure and following the route works fine. If you've already discovered the location, fast travel gets you there in seconds. The Horizon Stadium Scramble dirt event is right outside the arena and doubles as a useful map reference if you're scanning for nearby icons.

What does the inside of Horizon Stadium look like?
The interior isn't a standard sports venue. Playground Games turned the arena floor into a stylized rally course with large banked corners, jump sections, and overgrown scenery filling the track area. The wide layout works well for different vehicle types, which is part of why the stadium hosts dedicated dirt events alongside the Playlist challenges.
How to complete the Stadium Scenery daily challenge
This is one of the fastest daily challenges in the Festival Playlist. There are no car restrictions, no class requirements, and no performance index limits. Any vehicle from your garage works.
- Travel to Horizon Stadium in western Shimanoyama. Use fast travel if you've already been there, or drop a waypoint on the circular arena and drive over.
- Enter the stadium through one of the main entrance tunnels. You don't need to reach a specific spot inside.
- Open Photo Mode by pressing Up on the D-pad.
- Take a photo with your car visible in the frame. The challenge registers the stadium location automatically once the shot is captured.
- Collect your reward: 5,000 credits and 1 Forzathon Point toward the current Festival Playlist season.

How to find all 15 Shimanoyama Heat mascots
The Homerun Collectibles challenge asks you to smash 15 Shimanoyama Heat mascots near Horizon Stadium. Completing it earns 3 Season Points and a free Super Wheelspin. The mascots are small baseball-themed figures scattered both inside the stadium and in the surrounding area outside the arena walls.
Here's what most players get wrong: the majority of the 15 mascots are actually located outside the stadium, not on the interior track. Driving only through the arena floor and expecting to find all 15 will leave you short.

The mascots are spread across the western Shimanoyama coastline around the stadium perimeter. Methodically circling the outside of the arena first, then sweeping the interior, is the most reliable approach to hitting all 15 without backtracking.
Tips for reaching Horizon Stadium faster
- Start your search on the western mainland, not in Tokyo City.
- The stadium sits right next to the main lake. If you see the lake, you're close.
- Its circular shape on the map is distinctive. Zoom out slightly and scan the western edge.
- After your first visit, fast travel makes every return trip instant.
- The Horizon Stadium Scramble event icon on the map sits just outside the arena and works as a secondary navigation reference.
