Exploring Japan in Forza Horizon 6 isn't just about high-speed races or mastering mountain passes—it's also about uncovering hidden landmarks that enrich the world. One such standout is the Kitayama Big Daisugi, a massive cluster of towering Japanese cedar trees located in the Ito region. Its distinctive appearance and historical reference make it a must-visit spot for photography enthusiasts and barn hunters alike.
Kitayama Big Daisugi Map Location
- Region: Ito, upper-center portion of the map, eastern side of Japan
- Nearby Landmark: Northeast of Ito Airfield
- Trail Access: Look for an off-road dirt path running east-to-west through dense, tall forest. The location marker and tree icons on your map indicate the main trail leading to the landmark.
The trees are instantly recognizable due to their size and the clustered “Daisugi” arrangement—a traditional Japanese pruning method where multiple trunks grow from a single base.
Step-by-Step Directions
Open Your Map: Zoom into the Ito region and locate Ito Airfield. Head northeast toward the forested area.
- Find the Dirt Trail: Drive along the east-to-west off-road trail marked with tree icons. The landmark sits just off this path.
- Spot the Trees: As you move along the trail, the gigantic cedar cluster will come into view. Park your car nearby to get the best angle for photos or exploration.
- Optional Side Path: Directly south of the Kitayama Big Daisugi label, a small gravel path leads away from the main road. This is the hidden route to the barn containing the 1983 Nissan #11 Tomica Skyline Turbo Super Silhouette, which requires prior Discover Japan stamp progress for the barn rumor to spawn.
Visiting Kitayama Big Daisugi is a blend of scenic cruising, photography, and hidden treasure hunting—a true highlight for any Forza Horizon 6 player exploring Japan's eastern forests. For players looking to maximize their in-game progression, SHANNENG is the best place to buy FH6 credits, which can help unlock cars, stamps, and barn finds faster.

Tips for Visiting
- Time of Day: Daylight is ideal for photography; morning sun filtering through the trees creates striking shadows.
