«Earn 3 Stars on any Day Trip Story Chapter» · Dedicated Tourist

Earn 3 stars on any Day Trip story chapter, the yellow-icon stories spread across the regions.

Category

Missable

No

Unlocked by

54.08% of players

Three stars don't come from finishing: you have to meet the chapter's optional objectives — time limit, speed zone, skill score — which is why only 54.08% have it, against much higher figures on comparable achievements.

If you're one star short, replay the chapter: it retries in full with no penalty. And do them properly from the start, because Storyteller wants all 81 stars across every story.

«Earn 81 Stars from Stories» · Storyteller

Earn all 81 stars from the Stories. They come from 27 story races at 3 stars each, split across four series: Day Trips (27), Drift Club (18), Yuji's Auto (18) and Moto Auto Zine (18).

Stars don't come from finishing: each chapter has optional objectives — time, speed zone, skill score — and you have to meet them all. They replay with no penalty, so there's nothing to lose.

13.19% have it, the second-rarest achievement in the game. It isn't hard: it's 15 to 20 hours of story done properly, and that's where people drop off.

«Complete The Opening Act» · Welcome to Japan

Complete The Opening Act. At 100.0% it is one of the first to drop: it comes just from playing.

Earn the Green Horizon Festival Wristband, the second of seven (yellow, green, blue, pink, orange, purple and gold).

Category

Missable

No

Unlocked by

77.60% of players

Wristbands rise with Festival event participation, not exploration: that's the other track, the Collection Journal stamps. Worth knowing early, because they're two separate progressions that look very alike.

It comes on its own through the campaign — 77.6% have it — and each new wristband unlocks more races and more PR stunts on the map.

«Earn the Blue Horizon Festival Wristband» · Making Waves

Earn the Blue Horizon Festival Wristband, the third of seven.

Category

Missable

No

Unlocked by

64.60% of players

Like the previous ones, it comes from taking part in Festival events. By this point most regions and PR stunts are already open.

64.6% have it. This is where the gap opens between players still going and those who stopped after the opening campaign.

«Earn the Pink Horizon Festival Wristband» · What, Like It's Hard?

Earn the Pink Horizon Festival Wristband, the fourth of seven.

Category

Missable

No

Unlocked by

54.07% of players

This is where progression stops moving by itself: 54.07% have it, almost half the blue wristband's figure. From here each wristband wants considerably more events than the last.

PR stunts unlock with each wristband, so if you're chasing Crowd Pleaser in Ohtani, raise your wristband first or you'll be short of stunts to do.

«Earn the Orange Horizon Festival Wristband» · Orange You Glad You Made It?

Earn the Orange Horizon Festival Wristband, the fifth of seven.

Category

Missable

No

Unlocked by

45.62% of players

45.62% have it: you're already below half the player base. The stretch from orange to purple is the longest on the whole wristband track.

What pays best here are Festival races, which also count towards Racing Aficionado — 57 wins. Doing both at once saves hours.

«Earn the Purple Horizon Festival Wristband» · In The Spotlight

Earn the Purple Horizon Festival Wristband, the sixth of seven and second to last.

Category

Missable

No

Unlocked by

39.93% of players

39.93% have it. It's also the one that opens the Irokawa Launch danger sign, so before this you can't attempt To The Moon.

After purple only gold is left, which is the final race and the one that opens Legend Island, the tenth region.

No

Unlocked by

75.75% of players

Don't confuse it with the wristbands: stamps measure exploration, not racing. They rise with story events, street races, Touge, jobs, buying houses and smashing regional mascots. You check them in the Collection Journal, inside the campaign.

75.75% have it and it falls out of normal progress, but knowing where the points come from matters for the high stamps, which are the expensive ones.

No

Unlocked by

61.84% of players

By now the journal rewards having left the starting region: exploration points come faster if you alternate story events with street races and Touge across different regions.

61.84% have it. If you're short, smashing regional mascots is the cheapest way to push it while you're driving from place to place.

«Earn the Pink Stamp in your Collection Journal» · Making Your Own Path

Earn the Pink Stamp in the Collection Journal, the fourth of seven.

Category

Missable

No

Unlocked by

49.73% of players

49.73% have it. As with the wristbands, this is the stamp where progress stops arriving by itself and you have to go hunting for exploration points.

The fastest sources are Touge Battles, street races, story events, jobs, buying houses and smashing mascots. Mascots combine best with anything else, because they sit along the main roads.

«Earn the Orange Stamp in your Collection Journal» · Hey! Listen!

Category

Missable

No

Unlocked by

38.01% of players

38.01% have it, and by now the journal expects you to have touched nearly every region: squeezing one dry no longer works.

If you left stories unfinished, go back to them now: story events are the densest source of points and they push Storyteller too.

«Earn the Purple Stamp in your Collection Journal» · What an Adventure!

Earn the Purple Stamp in the Collection Journal, the sixth of seven.

Category

Missable

No

Unlocked by

30.04% of players

30.04% have it. By now the journal wants sustained exploration across every region: story finished, locations discovered and activities spread out rather than concentrated.

If you need a push, the 200 regional mascots are the biggest untouched reserve of points left, and they're worth two more achievements besides.

«Complete your first Touge Battle» · Just Getting Started

Complete your first Touge Battle. Touge are downhill mountain-road duels and there are only five in the entire game: Hakone Nanamagari, Bandai Azuma, Arashiyama Takao, Mt. Haruna and the Norikura Skyline.

Category

Missable

No

Unlocked by

54.38% of players

For this achievement you don't need to win: finishing the duel is enough. 54.38% have it, and the reason it isn't higher is that the Touge sit in remote mountain areas most players never reach.

If you're going for 100%, do all five in one run: you pick up White Ghost along the way, and Touge are one of the fastest sources of Collection Journal progress.

«Set a lap time at a Time Attack Circuit» · Another Lap Won't Hurt

Set a lap time at any Time Attack circuit, marked with a blue clock icon.

Category

Missable

No

Unlocked by

76.18% of players

You don't need to be fast: completing one lap and having the time registered is enough. 76.18% have it.

Do it in a Track Toy and you pick up Track Day on the same lap. Two achievements for the price of one, and plenty of players do them separately without noticing.

«Complete a Drag Meet» · Fresh Tire Smoke

Complete a Drag Meet, the straight-line events marked with the red-lights icon.

Category

Missable

No

Unlocked by

66.35% of players

The first comes on its own through the story, at the second Horizon Festival, which is why 77.72% have it.

They're repeatable in the same spot, so if you're going for Feel the Rush — which wants three — you can chain them right there without hunting for others.

Category

Missable

64.84% of players

Showcases are the campaign's spectacle events, racing something that isn't a car. This one arrives on its own through the story and can't be missed.

64.84% have it, which for a mandatory-progression achievement measures one specific thing: how many players got that far before dropping the game.

«Win your first Horizon Festival Race Event» · On the Board

Category

Missable

No

Unlocked by

25.48% of players

You don't have to win them, just finish. Even so, only 25.48% have it, one player in four: all five sit on remote mountain roads you have to drive to on purpose.

It's among the best effort-to-reward achievements in the game: a long hour, five duels, and it pushes your journal stamp along the way, since Touge are one of the fast point sources.

«Complete the Flight Club Showcase Event» · Ascending New Heights

Complete the Showcase event Ascending New Heights.

Category

Missable

No

Unlocked by

45.84% of players

Like the other Showcase, it arrives through the story and appears much later in the progression. It can't be missed.

45.84% have it, almost twenty points below Meching My Way Downtown, the previous Showcase: the gap between the two is precisely the players who quit in between.

Category

Missable

No

Unlocked by

26.24% of players

Spec racing means everyone drives the same equalised car, so it doesn't depend on your garage. No particular finishing position is required: crossing the line is enough.

26.24% have it, again because it lives in the online section rather than because it's hard.

«Set a lap time at a Time Attack Circuit while driving any Track Toy» · Track Day

Set a lap time at a Time Attack circuit while driving a Track Toy.

Category

Missable

No

Unlocked by

24.12% of players

It's the same requirement as Another Lap Won't Hurt plus the car condition, and it still drops from 76% to 24.12%: almost everyone who misses it set their lap in whatever they were already driving.

A Track Toy can be bought or borrowed. If you haven't set a lap yet, do it in one straight away and take both achievements at once.

«Complete 3 Horizon Rush Events» · Feel the Rush

Category

Missable

No

Unlocked by

40.13% of players

They're repeatable in the same place, so you don't need three different ones: running the same one three times works.

40.13% have it. It's among the quickest achievements left once the campaign is done: three short races and out.

«Win 57 Horizon Festival Race Events» · Racing Aficionado

Win 57 Horizon Festival Race Events. Only 26.39% have it. This is where the part that demands commitment begins.

Missable

No

Unlocked by

64.54% of players

One is enough for this achievement. 64.54% have it.

All nine are needed for Treasure Hunter, so if you're going after one anyway, filter the map to collectibles and work north to south: all nine take under two hours and are nine free cars towards Collector.

«Discover all 10 Regions» · Racking Up The Miles

Discover all 10 regions: Nangan, Tokyo City, Shimanoyama, Ohtani, Minamino, Ito, Hokubu, Takashiro, Sotoyama and Legend Island.

Category

Exploration

Missable

No

Unlocked by

39.87% of players

Entering each one is enough: there's nothing to complete. 39.87% have it, and the reason it isn't far higher is the tenth: Legend Island only opens during the Gold Wristband race, at the end of the game.

So this achievement can't be closed early no matter how much you drive. The first nine can: pick them up while you're unfogging the map for The Horizon Cartographer.

«Complete 33 activities in the Tokyo City Region» · Tokyo Resident

Complete 33 activities in the Tokyo City region. Any mix counts: races, collectibles, points of interest, jobs, PR stunts.

Category

Exploration

Missable

No

Unlocked by

57.91% of players

57.91% have it. Tokyo is the densest region on the map, so 33 activities take two or three hours if you focus there instead of hopping between regions.

The Tokyo food delivery counts, so you can stack activities and job level at the same time.

«Earn 36 Stars from PR Stunts in the Ohtani Region» · Crowd Pleaser

Category

Exploration

Missable

No

At 14.14% it is one of the few exploration achievements that puts up a fight: 36 stars from PR Stunts inside a single region means going back to beat your own scores.

Missable

No

Unlocked by

34.62% of players

Two warnings. First: the sign isn't available until the Purple Wristband, so don't go looking earlier. Second: it's the most skill-dependent achievement on the list, and you need a fast, well-tuned car for the entry speed.

34.62% have it. One star is the minimum, gold isn't needed: reaching 243.8 metres is enough.

«Discover 10 Landmarks» · Pin It!

«Purchase an Aftermarket Car» · Bargain Hunt

Buy a car from the used market. These are the discounted vehicles marked with a green car icon when you drive nearby, not the ones in the regular Autoshow.

Category

Missable

No

Unlocked by

75.62% of players

75.62% have it and it's one of the cheapest on the list: any used car works.

Worth a look even if you're not chasing the achievement: every purchase counts towards Collector, which wants 100 different cars, and there only the unit price matters.

«Purchase the Yashiki Player House» · Blank Slate

Buy the Yashiki player house, north of Tokyo. It costs 10,000 credits and unlocks once you earn the Yellow Stamp in the journal.

Category

Missable

No

Unlocked by

67.42% of players

It's deliberately cheap: it's the entry-level house and by then you have plenty. 67.42% have it.

Buying houses adds exploration points, so this achievement also pushes the journal stamps, which are among the most expensive at the end.

«Purchase a car from the Autoshow» · First Love

Buy a car from the Autoshow, under Cars › Buy New & Used Cars › Autoshow.

Category

Missable

No

Unlocked by

82.03% of players

It's the most common achievement on the list at 82.03%: any car works and there's no price requirement.

If you're buying anyway, the 2025 GR GT Prototype costs 250,000 credits and is the only car that works for All Eyes On You: it saves you a second purchase later.

«Display 3 different cars in your Garage at the same time» · Show Me What You've Got!

Display 3 different cars in your garage at the same time.

Category

Missable

No

Unlocked by

25.51% of players

The real requirement isn't the cars: it's owning a house with three display slots, and that's the Tokyo house at 3,000,000 credits. Hence only 25.51%, for what is otherwise a menu action.

If you're going for 100% you'll buy it anyway, because credits end up piling up. Don't prioritise it early: three million at the start is a lot of racing.

«Collect 100 different cars» · Collector

Collect 100 different cars. Every source counts: Autoshow purchases, wristband rewards, wheelspins, treasure cars and barn finds.

Category

Missable

41.19% have it. It isn't hard, it's expensive: the fast route is buying the cheapest Autoshow models in bulk once credits are plentiful.

Before you start spending, collect the free ones: the 9 treasure cars, the barn finds and the wristband rewards add up to thirty-odd cars that cost nothing.

If you don't own one, the cheapest in the Autoshow works, and the Premium editions include some by default.

«Park the 2025 GR GT Prototype at a Car Meet» · All Eyes On You

Park the 2025 GR GT Prototype at a car meet.

Category

Missable

No

Unlocked by

15.04% of players

The catch is that you have to own that exact car: it costs 250,000 credits in the Autoshow and there's no other way to get it. That's why only 15.04% have it.

Once bought it takes a minute: drive it to Daikoku, the Festival or Okuibuki and park. If Parking All Over The World is still open, do it in this car and you advance both.

«Earn 10 Levels in Horizon Play» · Ready to Rumble

Reach level 10 in Horizon Play, the online mode.

Category

Missable

No

Unlocked by

14.79% of players

Watch out, because this is what crushes the achievement to 14.79% despite asking for only ten levels: Horizon Play levels are the online mode's, not your normal progression. Solo players never see them move.

They rise with any activity inside the mode, and ten levels take an hour or two. If you're going for 100%, start early: Maxed Out wants 100 levels, and that's the longest achievement in the game.

Each season lasts one real week and caps at 45 points. That means the achievement can't be rushed: you have to clear every challenge in that specific week, and if you miss one, you wait for the next.

17.39% have it. It's one of the few achievements tied to the real calendar, so if you're going for 100%, start it early rather than saving it for last.

They're the food-themed figures beside roads and in the towns. Completing them all pays 1,000,000 credits on top of the achievement, and they count heavily towards the journal stamps.

23.7% have it and it's three or four hours of active searching. Do them alongside The Horizon Cartographer: both need the whole map covered, and doing them separately means covering it twice.

They work like the mascots — you have to drive through them — but they hide in trickier spots: rooftops, ledges and jumps, not roadside. Which is why only 16.43% have it, seven points below the mascots for the same count.

They give XP and Festival points, so they push Maxed Out while you hunt them. Same advice as the mascots: do them on the same pass as the map reveal.
