Japan has a lot of coastline. That's the core problem with this week's Festival Playlist Treasure Hunt in Forza Horizon 6, which drops the chest somewhere on the beaches of the Ito region without exactly handing you a GPS pin. Series 2 is in its Spring season, and after last week sent players crawling through the snowy hills of Sotoyama, this one at least has better weather.
The chest is at the northeast tip of Ito, past Ine
Here's the lowdown: the treasure chest sits on the beach at the far northeast corner of the Ito region, past the coastal town of Ine. You can spot Ine on your map by its white and blue sign. The chest is as far northeast as you can physically drive in the region, right at the narrow tip of the coastline where the road runs out and the sand takes over.
There are no major events clustered around this spot, just a billboard, so if you've been spending your time grinding races in the busier parts of the map, there's a decent chance you haven't naturally stumbled past it.
Once you reach the beach at the northern tip, the chest will be visible. Drive into it to smash it and complete the challenge.
What you actually earn from this
Completing the Ito Treasure Hunt rewards you with 3 Festival Playlist points, 5,000 XP, and 100,000 Credits. For about two minutes of driving, that's a solid return.
What most players miss is how those 3 points stack up against the Series 2 milestone thresholds. The current playlist is pushing toward two headline cars: the 2017 Mercedes-AMG GT R and the 2017 Saleen S7 LM. Both are significantly more interesting than last week's truck rewards. The Series 2 milestone prizes are the 1993 Porsche 911 Turbo S Leichtbau and the 2018 Lotus Exige Cup 430, and Series 3 rolls around next week, so the window to claim those is closing.
Ito is just one piece of the treasure puzzle
The Treasure Hunts are a recurring part of each weekly playlist rotation in FH6, and the Ito chest follows the same pattern as previous weeks: a clue-based challenge that points you toward a specific location, with the chest waiting at the end. The Ohtani and Sotoyama hunts earlier in Series 2 followed the same structure, each tied to a distinct region of Japan's map.
The key here is that these challenges reset with each new playlist week, so you'll want to grab this one before Series 3 kicks off. If you're also working through the broader treasure content in the game, the Forza Horizon 6 guide covering all Treasure Car locations is worth bookmarking alongside the weekly hunts.
