The best scenic driving routes in the Forza Horizon games, including FH6’s Japan
The Forza Horizon racing series provides players with immersive virtual road-tripping experiences across beautifully rendered, real-world inspired environments. Each game in the franchise features a vast open-world map crafted around iconic international tourist destinations, including Colorado, the Mediterranean coast, Australia, the British mainland, Mexico, and Japan in the latest installment, Forza Horizon 6.
The series captures the romance and freedom of classic motor touring by offering an idealized alternative to real-world travel, which is often hampered by traffic congestion, fuel concerns, and other practical limitations. Rather than simply racing against opponents, players can enjoy leisurely scenic drives through meticulously designed landscapes that compress each region’s most recognizable features—towns, sweeping highways, and stunning vistas—into artfully arranged maps.
Forza Horizon 6’s inclusion of Japan represents a significant expansion of the series’ global reach, giving players the opportunity to experience Japanese roads and countryside through an interactive medium that prioritizes the joy and freedom of the drive itself.
