Hirosaki Castle in Forza Horizon 6 is in the Takashiro Region, and you need to take a photo with it for one of this week's winter challenges in the Italian Exotics Festival Playlist Series. While the castle grounds are quite easy to find on the map, you've still got to find the castle, and be driving a Classic Sports Car to complete the photo challenge. With that, I've explained everything you need to know to complete this Forza Horizon 6 challenge, including the location of Hirosaki Castle.

Hirosaki Castle is in the eastern half of the Takshiro Region of Forza Horizon 6, almost directly north of Soni Circuit. On the map, the castle grounds are quite easy to spot, appearing as a large grey-brown rectangle with an orange road and white road surrounding it. The Hirosaki Castle itself is the white square in the southeast corner of the grounds.

To complete the photo challenge, you need to snap a photo of a Classic Sports Car with the castle itself. You can use Forza Horizon 6 fast travel to reach the road surrounding the castle, but then you need to find one of the ways into the grounds and make your way to the castle.

You also need to be in a Classic Sports Car, so open the 'Change Car' menu, press Y to bring up the Filters menu, then toggle on Classic Sports Cars under the Car Type header. Close the Filters menu and then choose an appropriate car from your garage. Obviously if you don't have any Classic Sports Cars, you'll need to buy one. You could also drive the 1971 Nissan Skyline 200GT-R, which is one of the Forza Horizon 6 Barn Finds.

Once you've got the right car and are in position, open Photo Mode and snap a quickshot with RB to complete the Photo Challenge. For your efforts, you'll get two Festival Playlist points for the winter season and a White Suit for your Drivatar. Remember, like the Forza Horizon 6 Hokubu Treasure Hunt for this winter season, you've only got until 2:30pm UTC on August 6 to complete this challenge!
