How to Reach the Statue of Hachikō in Forza Horizon 6

[aLExanDeRHill719]

Where the Statue Is Located

The Statue of Hachikō can be found in the Tokyo City region, specifically at the massive pedestrian hub known as Shibuya Crossing intersection.

This area is recreated inside the Tokyo City district portion of the map, and it’s hard to miss once you’re nearby. The whole intersection is packed with moving traffic lanes, elevated walkways, and constant pedestrian flow, making it one of the most alive-feeling places in the game.

To get there, just drive into central Tokyo City and head toward the most crowded intersection on the map. If you see waves of pedestrians crossing in every direction, you’re in the right place.

How to Spot the Statue

Once you arrive at Shibuya Crossing, the statue itself is surprisingly easy to overlook if you’re moving too fast.

Here’s what to look for:

A small plaza area on the edge of the intersection
A patch of green space surrounded by pedestrians
A dense crowd gathering near a stone pedestal

Right beside that crowd sits the Statue of Hachikō, a small bronze figure of the famous loyal Akita dog. In Forza Horizon 6, the developers kept it subtle, so it blends naturally into the environment rather than standing out like a large monument.

The statue is positioned close to street level, so you’ll usually spot it only after slowing down and looking toward the pedestrian side of the crossing.

How to Reach It Without Missing It

Getting to the statue is more about navigation within the intersection than long-distance driving.

A simple approach works best:

Enter Tokyo City and set your route toward the busiest central intersection.
Approach Shibuya Crossing from a main road so you can clearly see the pedestrian flow.
Slow down as you enter the intersection area and look toward the grassy corner plaza.
Pull into the side lane or curb area closest to the crowd.

Once you’re near the plaza, you don’t need to park perfectly. The game gives you a bit of flexibility as long as you’re within range of the landmark trigger zone.

Taking the Photo

After you’ve reached the correct spot, the next step is getting the photo to register properly. The statue is small, and this is where most players miss the shot on their first try.

Here’s the easiest way to complete it:

Enter Photo Mode once you’re next to the plaza
Position your camera toward the crowd near the grass
Zoom in slightly so the statue is centered in the frame
Wait for the game to recognize the landmark before taking the shot

The recognition trigger can be picky. Even if the statue isn’t fully centered, the game will still accept the photo as long as the camera is aimed at the correct area.

Once it registers, you’ll unlock the entry in your Discover Japan journal and the Statue of Hachikō will be marked as completed.

Why This Location Stands Out

Part of what makes this spot memorable in Forza Horizon 6 is how closely it mirrors real-world Shibuya. The constant movement, layered pedestrian paths, and dense city atmosphere make it feel more like a living urban space than a traditional racing checkpoint.

The statue itself is small and understated, which fits its real-world counterpart. Instead of being a dramatic landmark, it’s a quiet detail in the middle of one of the busiest intersections in the game.

Final Tip

If you’re passing through Tokyo City anyway, it’s worth stopping here even if you’re not actively completing the journal. Shibuya Crossing is one of the most detailed urban areas in the game, and the Statue of Hachikō is a small but meaningful part of that environment.
