Where to Find the Ito Region Treasure Hunt Chest in Forza Horizon 6

Where to Find the Ito Region Treasure Hunt Chest in Forza Horizon 6

The Ito Treasure Hunt chest sits in the farmland fields just south of Ito Airfield, toward the centre of the region, tucked off-road beside a railway crossing. Drive south from Ito Airfield until the farmlands are on your west, take the road between the two farmland sections, then turn left before the railway crossing (a house will be on your right) into a small tree-less clearing where the chest is waiting. Smash it for 100,000 credits, 5,000 XP, and 3 Season Progress points.

This guide walks you through the full route, flags the region-label confusion that trips up returning players, and covers what to do with your rewards once the chest is in pieces.

What You Need Before You Set Out

The Treasure Hunt is a live Festival Playlist activity, so you need an online connection for your playlist to refresh each season. Beyond that, you need:

• Access to the Ito region. Ito sits on the east side of the map by the coast and unlocks through normal Festival progression, most players will have driven through it during the campaign. If you haven't reached it yet, continue the main Festival events until the region appears on your map.
• The current season's Treasure Hunt clue. Open the Festival Playlist from the pause menu and read the season's Treasure Hunt entry and its photo clue carefully. This is what confirms which region this season's chest is in, and it's the single most important check before you drive anywhere.
• A car you don't mind taking slightly off-road, because you'll be leaving the tarmac in the farmlands.

Two clarifications before you start, because they trip up a lot of returning players:

Timing. This Ito hunt belongs to the later British Automotive Festival Series (Series 5), not the launch Series 1 "Welcome to Japan" playlist. Treasure Hunt locations rotate every season, so confirm the chest is live in Ito for your current week before following the route below. If your clue points somewhere else entirely, such as Ohtani, Minamino, or Tokyo City, you're looking at a different week's hunt. Per official playlist data, Treasure Hunt is a recurring Festival Playlist activity with a 100,000-credit baseline reward, and locations change from season to season.

Region-label confusion. Official Series 1 data listed Summer's Treasure Hunt in the Ohtani Region, so seeing a different region name in older references than "Ito" is expected, not a mistake. Always trust your current in-game clue over old articles.

A Note on This Route

The directions below are drawn from walkthrough coverage of the Ito hunt rather than verified primary data. Treat them as reported guidance, not a precise coordinate set. If the field looks slightly different when you arrive, use the airfield, farmlands, house, and railway crossing as your anchors and search the immediate area around them.

Step 1: Drive to Ito Airfield

Head to the Ito region on the east side of the map, by the coast. It's a named region you'll likely recognise from the Ito Sprint race.

Open your map, search or select Ito Airfield, and set it as your route target. This is your anchor landmark for the entire route, and it matters more than it sounds: the field holding the chest has almost no landmarks, so the airfield is your only reliable starting point.

Approach from the airfield itself rather than cutting across country. Trying to eyeball the farmlands from a distance is how most players end up overshooting.

Step 2: Head South Until the Farmlands Are on Your West

1. From Ito Airfield, drive south.
2. Watch your map and surroundings for the farmland fields to open up on your left-hand (western) side.
3. Use that transition as your cue that you're in the right area.

Don't rush this leg. The shift from airfield to farmland is the moment your navigation changes from "follow a named location" to "follow the terrain", so take it slowly and confirm the farmlands are genuinely to your west before you commit to the next turn.

Step 3: Take the Road Between the Farmland Sections

Once the farmlands are to your west, look for the road that runs between the northern and southern farmland sections. Turn onto it and continue toward the centre of the region.

Keep the house and the mountain in view as rough reference points. They're the only notable landmarks in this stretch, and they matter more in the next step.

Step 4: Turn Left Before the Railway Crossing

This is the turn most players miss, so read it twice.

Watch for the railway crossing ahead and a house on your right-hand side. Turn left just before the crossing. The turn looks like it leads nowhere, which is exactly why people drive straight past it.

Walkthrough reports place the chest in a small, tree-less area just off-road here, right next to the railway crossing. Drive into it to smash it. No special car, no skill check, no prerequisite beyond being there.

If you've already crossed the railway line, you've gone too far. Turn around and take the left turn on the way back.

What You Get for Smashing the Chest

The official playlist confirms the baseline reward of 100,000 credits. Hands-on coverage of the hunt reports the full payout as:

Those Season Progress points count toward the reward cars for the season this hunt is live in. Per hands-on coverage, the Summer Season reward cars are the Ginetta G40 Junior and McLaren 620R; if your current season differs, check your own playlist for that season's reward cars. For additional Season Progress in the same week, hands-on coverage points to the photo challenge at Shimanoyama Circuit.

Common Mistakes That Cost You the Chest

• Hunting in Ohtani because a Series 1 guide told you to. The launch "Welcome to Japan" playlist put Summer's Treasure Hunt in Ohtani. The Ito hunt is a later-series event. Always trust your current in-game clue over old articles.
• Expecting an obvious landmark. The chest field has almost nothing to navigate by except a house and a mountain. If you're relying on visual landmarks alone, you'll overshoot. Use the airfield-to-farmland route instead.
• Driving past the left turn before the railway crossing. The turn is easy to miss because it doesn't look like a route.
• Confusing Treasure Hunt with Treasure Cars. Treasure Cars are abandoned vehicles restored via photo clues, running alongside Barn Finds. The Treasure Hunt is the smash-the-chest activity. They're separate systems with separate rewards.
• Treating the route as exact. Location specifics come from walkthrough coverage rather than verified primary data. If the field looks slightly different, use the airfield, farmlands, house, and railway crossing as your anchors and search the immediate area.

Filling Out the Rest of Your Season Progress

With the chest smashed, open your Festival Playlist and check what's left in the current season. The photo challenge at Shimanoyama Circuit is the quickest extra Season Progress you can grab, and it pairs well with the credits you just banked.

Put those 100,000 credits toward the season's reward cars if you haven't unlocked them yet. Then re-check the playlist next season: Treasure Hunt locations rotate, so the chest will move to a new region and a new set of landmarks. The habit that serves you best across every hunt is the same one that works here: read the photo clue first, confirm the region, then find your anchor landmark before you start driving.

If abandoned vehicles are more your speed, look into the separate Treasure Cars and Barn Finds systems. Those use photo clues rather than chests, and they reward patience over a single well-aimed smash.
