Sometimes the Festival in Forza Horizon 6 asks you not to break records, but to cause a little chaos. The “Bamboo Bash” mission is just that: you need to find a bamboo grove and turn it into a battlefield, as if an enraged panda had just stomped through it. No speed runs or perfect runs, just total destruction of the greenery.
The main difficulty is that the bamboo isn’t mapped, and without a clue, you could wander around Japan for a long time looking for the right spot. But we know where to look.

Where’s the fastest way to break bamboo?
The most effective section is the Ito region, specifically the “Arashiyama Run” speed zone. The dirt road here is densely surrounded by thickets, and there’s plenty of bamboo. To reach the zone, if it’s not already open, look for an orange bracelet at the junction of three regions: Ito, Minamino, and Hokubu. An alternative route is from west Ito, past the Yahikoyama Turn zone, and then onto a dirt road leading straight into the forest.
How to complete it in a minute?
Arrive at the Arashiyama Run and simply drive back and forth along the dirt road, knocking down the bamboo on both sides. The plants respawn very quickly, so you don’t even have to leave the zone—all 30 trunks will be gone in less than 60 seconds. Any car will do, although rally cars and SUVs feel more confident on this road.
The mission is automatically completed immediately after the 30th broken stalk. Reward: three coveted playlist points and a super lucky wheel. Not bad for a couple of minutes of fun vandalism, huh?
By the way, if you’re concerned about the environment, the bamboo in the game regenerates instantly, so the virtual nature won’t be harmed. All that’s left for you to do is take your rewards and pretend you never planned this pogrom.
