The Nangan Region Treasure Hunt chest sits on the beach along Nangan’s lower (southern) coast, south of Tokyo City — drive down from the coastal road to its west and smash it for 100,000 Credits and 3 Season Points.
The Nangan Region sits on the southeastern side of the Forza Horizon 6 map, and the Treasure Hunt chest is down on its lower coast, on the eastern strip of sand where the land meets the ocean just below Tokyo City. The easiest way to find it is to highlight the region on the map, head for that southern shoreline, and approach from the coastal road that runs along its western edge — then carefully drive down the slope to the beach. It’s usually easy to spot once you’re close, since other players tend to cluster around it.
Reward and seasonal progression
| Detail | Value |
|---|---|
| Event | Treasure Hunt – Nangan Region |
| Region | Nangan (southeastern map) |
| Nearby landmark | Tokyo City (just to the north) |
| Reward | 100,000 Credits |
| Season Points | 3 |
| Playlist | Horizon Decades – Summer Season |
Smashing the chest pays out a flat 100,000 Credits and 3 Season Points, and there’s no stunt, photo, or car restriction tied to it — you just need to reach it and hit it with any vehicle. The hunt is part of the Horizon Decades Summer Season on the Festival Playlist, so those points stack onto the same seasonal track as the rest of the week’s challenges.
Those Season Points are what unlock the playlist’s reward cars at set thresholds. On this track, the 1989 Volkswagen Rallye Golf reportedly unlocks at 20 points and the 1988 Lamborghini Countach LP5000 QV at 40 points, so think of this chest’s 3 points as a chunk toward those totals rather than a one-stop reward — you’ll still need other Summer challenges to clear the higher tiers.
Common mistakes when hunting this chest
The single most common error is trying to reach the chest by driving south along the beach from the north. A rock formation blocks that route, so you’ll just end up doubling back. Come in from the coastal road to the west instead and drop down the slope onto the sand — that’s effectively the only clean approach.
The other mix-ups are about where you’re looking. The chest is on Nangan’s eastern shoreline, not the interior or the western coast, and it’s on the coast south of Tokyo City — not inside the city itself. Sources phrase the bearing a little differently (some say due south, others southwest), so don’t fixate on an exact compass direction; aim for the lower coast of Nangan near Tokyo City and you’ll be in the right area.
Finally, don’t confuse this seasonal Treasure Hunt chest with the Nangan Treasure Car, the Ford GT ’05, which is a separate collectible found along the coastline near the region’s southern tip. They’re two different objectives that happen to share the region. You may also see a circulating claim that the box sits “on top of the putting green” at a golf course — that conflicts with the coastal-beach location and is unverified, so treat the beach as the better-supported spot.
Approach from the road just west of the beach and drive down the slope — never try to come along the sand from the north, where rocks block the way.
Other Nangan and Tokyo City treasure hunts
If you’re sweeping the seasonal track, there are more regional hunts worth grabbing while you’re out — the Minamino, Ohtani, and Tokyo City Treasure Hunts each sit elsewhere on the map with their own navigation quirks. The Nangan Treasure Car (the Ford GT ’05) is also close by on the region’s coastline if you want to bag it in the same trip.
Beyond the hunts themselves, clearing the rest of the Horizon Decades Summer challenges is what finishes the weekly reward track and pushes you toward those higher Season Point car unlocks. The chest is a quick, high-value piece of that, but it’s one stop on a longer seasonal route.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Nangan Treasure Hunt chest on the beach or on a golf course putting green?
The better-supported location is the beach on Nangan’s lower coast, south of Tokyo City. There’s a circulating claim that the box sits on a golf course putting green, but that conflicts with the detailed coastal location and is currently unverified — it may refer to a different challenge or a mislabeled region. Head for the beach.
Why can’t I drive to the chest along the beach from the north?
A rock formation blocks the shoreline route from the north, so you can’t reach the chest that way. Approach from the coastal road to the west and drive carefully down the slope onto the sand instead.
How much does the chest reward and how many Season Points?
Smashing it gives 100,000 Credits and 3 Season Points toward the Horizon Decades Summer seasonal track. There’s no extra objective — just reach it and hit it.
Is this the same as the Nangan Treasure Car (Ford GT ’05)?
No. The Treasure Car is a separate collectible — the Ford GT ’05, found along Nangan’s coastline near the region’s southern tip. The Treasure Hunt is the seasonal chest on the beach. They share the region but are different objectives.
Which season and playlist is this Treasure Hunt part of?
It belongs to the Horizon Decades Summer Season on the Festival Playlist, so its points count toward that week’s seasonal reward track.
