How to Find and Unlock the Race Follow these steps exactly to make the Hakone Nanamagari Touge Race appear on your map: - Reach the required level:
Make sure your progression is high enough to explore freely. You’ll need enough wristbands to reach the Blue / Traveller Stamp level in your Discover Japan Stamps. Without this, the area will remain locked. - Locate the Nangan region:
Open your world map and focus on the far southwest corner of the map—southwest of Tokyo City. This is where the Hakone Nanamagari area is located. - Find the Irokawa Space Centre:
Look for the massive Space Centre landmark near the bottom-left of your map. It’s a huge, hard-to-miss structure and makes a good reference point. - Spot the winding roads:
Just north of the Space Centre, you’ll see a dense cluster of grey, highly twisty roads. These are the signature hairpins of the Hakone Nanamagari pass. - Drive there:
Set a waypoint close to the greyed-out asphalt and drive your car directly onto the road. The game requires you to physically reach the area—fast travel won’t unlock it. - Trigger the unlock:
Once your car enters the area and you discover the road, the fog of war will clear, and the Hakone Nanamagari Touge Race icon will permanently appear on your map. You can now participate in the event anytime.
For a visual reference, YouTube walkthroughs like STEVIO2175’s 58-second guide clearly show the exact mountain pass location. Watching this can help you avoid missing the entrance. Quick Tips for the Gazoo Racer Weekly ChallengeIf your goal is to complete Step 4 of the Weekly Challenge (winning the race in the 2022 Toyota GR86), the community has a few useful pointers: - Tune to B-Class:
Many players have found the GR86 isn’t selectable in its stock form. Upgrade and tune your Toyota GR86 to B-Class (B600) before heading to the race. - Lower the difficulty:
The tight hairpins can be tricky. Lower the AI difficulty to Tourist in the settings to make it more manageable. The challenge still counts and rewards you 5 Playlist Points and 25,000 CR. - Grab the Barn Find:
While exploring the Nanamagari Touge route, don’t miss a nearby barn find just west of the pass. Here, you can unlock the classic 1971 Nissan Skyline 2000GT-R—perfect for future races.
Unlocking Hakone Nanamagari Touge is all about exploration. Drive carefully, enjoy the scenery, and make sure your car is ready for those sharp hairpins. Once you’ve discovered it, this race will become a permanent part of your Forza Horizon 6 adventures.
