To complete #DeliciousDango, drive to the Tokyo City Dango area inside Horizon Stadium — near the Edamame Time Attack circuit — and take a Photo Mode shot with your character standing outside the car in front of the dango display.
The #DeliciousDango photo challenge is the second-week task of the Horizon Mascot Party Autumn Series 4 Festival Playlist in Forza Horizon 6. It sounds simple, but the wording sends a lot of players to the wrong place — the “Tokyo City” in the name is not the open-world city, it’s a decorated corner tucked inside Horizon Stadium. Get to the right spot and the whole thing takes under a minute.
What the #DeliciousDango challenge asks for
| Detail | Answer |
|---|---|
| Objective | Photo your character outside the car in the Tokyo City Dango area |
| Location | Inside Horizon Stadium (Horizon Mascot Party), Shimanoyama, west side of the map |
| Car required | Any car — no vehicle restriction |
| Character | Must be standing outside the vehicle |
| Rewards | Dango Outfit (Legendary) and 2 Season Points |
Key Everything you need is in the table below. The one detail worth burning into memory before you set off is the location: the challenge lives inside Horizon Stadium, not in the Tokyo City region on the open map. Any car in your garage will do, and the shot only counts with your driver standing outside the vehicle.
Where the Tokyo City Dango area actually is
Look to the west side of the map, in the Shimanoyama region. The huge circular stadium by the water has been taken over by the Horizon Mascot Party, and the fastest way to line it up is to find the Edamame Time Attack circuit or the Horizon Mascot Party icon on the map — the dango spot sits right by there.
Approach from the South Gate, the signed tunnel that feeds you straight into the stadium grounds. Inside, the developers have decorated the interior with oversized food mascots for each region, so the whole place is a wall of themed cutouts.
Key The exact target is the Tokyo City Dango section: pink Tokyo City signs paired with large cardboard-cutout mascots shaped like three round dango on a stick. That cluster of dango decorations — not the pink billboards on their own — is the backdrop the game is checking for.
How to complete the #DeliciousDango photo challenge in Forza Horizon 6
Once you are at the stadium, the run is a short drive to the pit lane followed by a quick Photo Mode setup that puts your driver in frame.
STEP 1/8
Open the challenge in the playlist
Head to the Autumn tab of the Festival Playlist and select the #DeliciousDango photo challenge to confirm the objective and the Dango Outfit reward.
STEP 2/8
Find the stadium on the map
Open the map and look west into Shimanoyama, using the Edamame Time Attack circuit and the Horizon Mascot Party icon as your marker.
STEP 3/8
Enter through the South Gate
Drive into the stadium through the South Gate tunnel rather than approaching from any other side.
STEP 4/8
Turn left into the pit lane
Do not follow the Time Attack circuit — turn left into the pit lane as soon as you clear the tunnel.
STEP 5/8
Stop at the Tokyo City Dango area
The Tokyo City Dango mascot display is straight away on your left; pull up and bring the car to a full stop beside it.
STEP 6/8
Open Photo Mode
Press Up on the D-pad (or your assigned button) to enter Photo Mode with the car parked in front of the decorations.
STEP 7/8
Put your character outside the car
Press Y for the effects options, scroll to Drivers and enable it, then use Character to place your avatar standing outside the vehicle.
STEP 8/8
Frame the shot and take the photo
Line up the car, your driver and the dango mascots together, then use Quick Shot or take the photo to register the challenge.
In Photo Mode, enable Drivers and set the Character to any position other than the driver’s seat before you shoot — a photo with the character still inside the car will not count.

Why the challenge is not registering
The most common miss is heading to the open-world Tokyo City region because the challenge name mentions it. There is nothing to photograph there — the dango area only exists inside Horizon Stadium during the Mascot Party, so if the objective refuses to tick, that is almost always the reason.
The second trap is being close but not close enough. Standing at the entrance, or next to the pink Tokyo City billboards alone, tends not to register. You need to be inside the decorated dango section itself, stopped in the open pit-lane spot right beside the mascot cutouts.
The last one catches people at the finish line: leaving the driver in the car. If the Character setting still shows your avatar in the seat, the shot won’t complete no matter how good the framing is — bring them outside the vehicle first.
Rewards for finishing #DeliciousDango
Completing the shot marks the photo challenge done on the Autumn Festival Playlist and hands over the Dango Outfit, a Legendary clothing item, along with 2 Season Points toward your playlist progress. Some completion screens also flash a Wheelspin among the unlocks, but the outfit and the Season Points are what the challenge is built to give.
Those Season Points are the part that carries forward — they stack toward the Autumn playlist’s larger car and cosmetic rewards, so knocking out this quick photo is worth it even if the outfit isn’t your style.
