The Temple of Nachi Falls is a tucked-away landmark on the western edge of the Forza Horizon 6 map, and it has no marker of its own. You need to reach it to clear the “Temple of Zoom” Summer photo challenge, which asks you to take a picture in a 1980s Ford with the temple in shot.
Quick answer: Drive to the loop of road high in the mountains on the west side of the Takashiro region, get into a Ford built in the 1980s, open Photo Mode (Up on the D-pad or P on keyboard), frame your car with the pagoda, and take the shot.
Temple of Nachi Falls location on the map
The temple sits in the Takashiro region, near the mountains on the far west side of the map. Look for a river running alongside the high ground. A set of dirt tracks, shown as dashed lines, climbs up to a winding road that ends in a small loop, and the temple stands in the center of that loop.
There is a waterfall just north of the temple, which makes the spot easy to confirm once you are close. If you have already driven nearby, open your map, hover over the nearest white (already-discovered) road, and press X to fast travel. Undiscovered roads appear darker grey, so aim for a white one as close to the loop as possible.
While you are here, the 1995 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution 3 GSR treasure car is parked along the dirt track just north of the temple, near the waterfall. It is separate from the Barn Finds you unlock through the campaign, so you can grab it on the same trip.
Which 1980s Ford to drive for Temple of Zoom
The challenge only counts if you are in a Ford with a model year in the 1980s. Any of the cars below will qualify.
| Car | Year |
|---|---|
| Ford RS200 Evolution | 1985 |
| Ford F-150 XLT Lariat | 1986 |
| Ford F-150 XLT Lariat Forza Edition | 1986 |
| Ford Sierra Cosworth RS500 | 1987 |
Other 1980s Fords also work if you own them, such as the Sierra RS Cosworth or the Escort RS Turbo. Switch into your chosen car before you take the photo.
How to complete the Temple of Zoom photo challenge
How to confirm the challenge is done
The game detects both the temple and your car and marks the task complete once the photo is taken. Check the Horizon Series menus and look under the Summer tab; “Temple of Zoom” should now be ticked off near the bottom of the list. Completing it pays out 5,000 Credits and one season point toward the overall Summer rewards.
If it does not register, the usual cause is a car that is not a Ford or not from the 1980s, or a photo that leaves the pagoda out of frame. Reposition so the temple is visible behind a qualifying car and shoot again.
