The golf green is quiet and the department store marquee glows across the road. I stopped, checked the Treasure Map, and realized the chest was closer than I thought. You will pass the storefront and then find the prize waiting behind it.
I play Forza Horizon 6 on Xbox and PC through the Microsoft Store; I’ve chased more than one Treasure Hunt here and learned the small tricks that save minutes and frustration. I’ll show you the fastest route to the Minamino Region chest, how to trigger the in-game ping, and why those 100,000 credits matter for your Mazda Furai chase.
The festival map shows a department store near the Minamino event — how to use that to your advantage
Open the map and find the Minamino region race marker; it’s the best fast-travel anchor. If you’ve already reached the nearby race event, fast travel there and you’ll spawn right in front of a department store. Drive past the store; the golf course sits directly behind it and that’s where the chest lives.
You’ll see a stretch of green behind the store — the exact chest location explained
Head straight past the store entrance and keep the golf clubhouse on your left. The chest sits on the fairway near a small sand trap and a lone flag pole — drive through it to collect. If you’ve found the Treasure Map earlier, the chest will already show a ping on your HUD; click that ping to set a precise route.
Where is the Minamino treasure chest in Forza Horizon 6?
It’s on the Minamino golf course behind the department store you fast-travel to from the nearby race event. I treat the Treasure Map as a flashlight in the dark — it points you almost exactly to the fairway where the chest waits.
The environment gives subtle cues — how to trigger the chest without wasting time
When you arrive, slow down enough to spot the sand trap and flag; they’re your visual markers. Aim across the fairway rather than trying to thread a path along rough ground. The golf course is a hidden attic in plain sight, so a clean drive through the chest completes the task in seconds.
How do I get the Treasure Hunt chest in Minamino?
Fast travel to the unlocked race event near Minamino, drive past the department store and onto the golf course, then run over the glowing chest. If you prefer, use the in-game Treasure Map to ping the location first — the ping works on Xbox and PC and is visible whether you’re playing through the Microsoft Store or an Xbox console.
The reward signs are obvious — why the 100,000 credits and festival points matter
The game hands you five festival points and 100,000 credits when you pass through the chest. Those funds buy upgrades or help you bid for limited cars; they speed your climb toward reward cars like the Mazda Furai. I’ve used small credit boosts to keep rotation momentum in weekly events run by Playground Games and to edge into the final prize brackets on Xbox Live playlists.
Quick tip: if you’re juggling multiple Treasure Hunts, plan your fast-travel hops so you chain region chests without backtracking — little time savings add up across sessions.
