Kinkaku-ji, or the Golden Pavilion, is one of the standout landmarks in Forza Horizon 6 Discover Japan Collector’s Journal. Logging it is straightforward, and doing so not only helps complete your journal but also opens opportunities for hidden rewards nearby. Here’s a step-by-step guide from a player’s perspective.

Finding Kinkaku-ji on the Map

The Golden Pavilion is nestled in a lush forested area in the Ohtani region. It’s southwest of the main Horizon Festival Site and northeast of Mei’s House.

Visual Landmarks: Look for a winding, off-road gravel trail branching north from the southern highway. The trail ends at a small lake surrounded by dense woods.

The Entrance: As you near the water, yellow walls mark the path into the temple gardens. The temple itself rests at the edge of the lake, making for a picturesque scene.

Logging the Discover Japan Entry

Capturing Kinkaku-ji in your journal is simple:

Drive to the edge of the lake to get a clear view of the Golden Pavilion.

Open Photo Mode (press Up on the D-pad if using a controller).

Frame the temple in your shot and snap the picture.

You’ll receive a notification confirming that Kinkaku-ji has been added to your Collector’s Journal.

This action helps increase your Discover Japan rank, which in turn unlocks nearby events and collectibles.

High-Value Rewards Nearby

While you’re visiting Kinkaku-ji, don’t miss these extra opportunities:

Ohtani Treasure Hunt: Southwest of the temple, near the yellow garden walls, a hidden treasure chest awaits. Breaking into it rewards 100,000 Credits instantly.

Hidden Barn Find: If your Discover Japan Stamp Tier is Level 2 (Tourist), a dirt path west of the temple hides a dilapidated barn. Inside, you’ll find the 1987 Ford Sierra Cosworth RS500—a rare vehicle worth the detour.

Exploring Kinkaku-ji offers more than just journal points—it’s a chance to immerse yourself in one of FH6’s most serene landscapes, capture stunning photos, and claim hidden treasures. For players aiming to complete the Discover Japan Journal efficiently, this location is a must-visit.
