The only wild routes on the Italy map are those that include the ferry symbols. As an action instead of taking a normal cards a player may take a single Ferry card, with a maximum of two per player allowed. Different from the ferries seen in Ticket to Ride Europe, these are special routes that players can use special cards on. The Italy side of the board introduces Ferries. At some point players will need to claim bullet train routes in an attempt to end the game. The game length is also more consistent, from one game to the next. This guarantees that a good portion of the bullet train lines will be built and that they will impact the game. In a slight mix up to the norm, on top of a player having two or fewer trains left, the bullet train pile must also be down to two or fewer for the end game to trigger. Points are then awarded (or lost) based on positioning on the bullet train tracker. At the end of the game when determining if players have completed destination tickets bullet train routes can be used by anyone. Instead, a bullet train is added to the route and the player moves up the bullet train tracker – the number of spaces moved equaling the cards used to claim the route. Once claimed however the player doesn’t add their train pieces to the board, nor do they score points. These are wild routes that any player can claim as normal. Making Japan that little more special are bullet train routes. Destination tickets can link from somewhere on the main map to the side one, with the player required to link each end of their route, for example to Tokyo, on both sections. The way they connect is with one location appearing on both a side map and the main board. They are reminiscent of Ticket to Ride London but size wise they are smaller. The Ticket to Ride Japan map is the first to feature small side maps, with Tokyo and the Kyushu island alongside the main map.
