The Hirosaki Castle is one of the many breathtaking landmarks in Forza Horizon 6, and also a location in the real world.

Designed after the original Hirosaki Castle in Aomori, Japan, the version in Forza is almost identical in appearance. However, as Forza takes place in a fictional world, it's not exactly in the same location as it is in the real world. Additionally, as the map is huge, it can be a bit difficult to find the Hirosaki Castle.

Here's where you can find the Hirosaki Castle in Forza Horizon 6.

Hirosaki Castle is found on the eastern side of the Takashiro region in Forza Horizon 6. Look for a rectangular plot of land that is surrounded by water and just north of a lake. The castle itself sits on the southeastern corner of the raised plot. If you'd like to take a closer look, you can drive onto the platform or even fly around it in your drone.

If you're looking to complete the #ClassyCastle photo challenge for the winter of the Italian Exotics series, we recommend fast traveling to the closest road that you can. Then, remember to get into any classic sports car that you own and take a photo of it. To check if you own one, filter your car by "Classic Sports Car." If you don't have one, we recommend picking up the 1971 Nissan Skyline 2000GT-R barn find, as it's entirely free. Once you've taken a photo of a classic sports car, you'll earn a white suit as a reward.
