Where to find bamboo in Forza Horizon 6
Break these green shoots for the Bamboo Bash challenge.
The new Bamboo Bash challenge in Forza Horizon 6's Autumn season of Series 2 sounds easy enough on paper. Find and crash into 30 bamboo. How hard can that be? Japan's bamboo forests are iconic. But now you need to specifically hunt it down, you're likely scratching your head, wondering where you've whizzed past it while driving at 100 mph.
Don't worry though, I've found the best bamboo location so you can complete this challenge in a matter of seconds. It's just a shame there's no unique car up for grabs like its Series 1 counterpart.
Forza Horizon 6 bamboo locations


The best location to visit is the bamboo forest by the Arashiyama Run speed zone on the border between Minamino and Ito. Other nearby landmarks include Shirakawa-Go in the former region and Kitayama Big Daisugi located in the latter.
Here you'll find hundreds of bamboo shoots bordering the road, and all you need to do is ram into 30 of them to complete the Festival Playlist challenge. It's also a very lucrative location to rack up a high skill score from all the chaos you're causing, including the Bamboom! Skill.
Another location you could visit is right outside the Porsche 911 Turbo 3.3 Barn Find in the south of Ohtani, very close to Mei's house and Tokyo City. There's not as much bamboo here but it's very convenient.
As mentioned, there's unfortunately no new car for completing Bamboo Bash like there was for last Series' Snack Attack collectible challenge. Instead, you'll earn a Super Wheelspin. I hope you've got good luck then, otherwise this reward is rather terrible—I keep getting the lowest amount of cash possible.

Rory has made the fatal error of playing way too many live service games at once, and somehow still finding time for everything in between. Sure, he’s an expert at Destiny 2, Call of Duty, and more, but at what cost? He’s even sunk 1,000 hours into The Elder Scrolls Online over the years. At least he put all those hours spent grinding challenges to good use over the years as a freelancer and guides editor. In his spare time, he’s also an avid video creator, often breaking down the environmental design of his favourite games. If you can’t track him down, he’s probably lost in a cave with a bunch of dwarves shouting “rock and stone” to no end.
