This is the location from the reveal trailer.
I checked the map and it doesn't seem like it exists anywhere, or does it?
Fuji is probably outside the map somewhere to the west or south west.

Forza Horizon geography is always a little contrived and more than a bit squidged -- the UK was a weird hourglass shape which somehow leapt from the Cotswolds and bits of Oxfordshire/Northamptonshire right up to the Lake District without touching Manchester, Sheffield, or Leeds (but managing High Moor wind farm...), while putting Derwent Reservoir a couple of miles southeast of Derwentwater rather than the opposite side of the country and northeast...

However... given the orientation of the map, placing what I assume are the Akaishi Mountains - west of Tokyo - at the... upth, my assumption was that the lake at the bottom-left is "inspired by" Ashi and the one at the top by Yamanaka, putting Mount Fuji off the left of the map.

I can't fully resolve the viewpoint with the bridge (maybe it's inaccessible?) and the no-stadium, but something like this:

Yes, the bridge is missing.

I guess this reveal scene is not even done with ingame graphics (maybe A.I.).
The water looks way too good, since I've not seen any FH6 video where the water shows different reflection types on the same surface.
