Bat Darts: Shibuya's Premier Darts Shop

Reviewed August 2004 Rating:

Bat darts is conveniently located just 2mins walk from Shibuya`s Hachiko square and less than a minute from the Mark City exit of the Inokashira line. Up the spiral starecase to the top floor and behind a gray metal door is one of the city`s most popular darts shops.

Bat darts built their foundation upon the booming Shibuya soft tips darts community. Shibuya is home to dozens of dart bars and provides a perfect location for a darts shop. Bat Darts carries a good selection of popular dart models including Unicorn, hard to find DMC, Laser Darts and more. Recently they have expanded their selection of steel tip darts such as Ameri and offer a fair selection separate soft and steel tip barrels for darters who want alternatives to the usual brands.

Bat dart has a large selection of accessories, with a large selection of flights and a variety of shafts and other darts necessities. The flights section is one of the best in the city with designs to give your darts that extra personal touch. You might like to try the custom-made original color tip once. A variety of cases are available along with dart slings to hold your darts between play.

Selecting a set of darts requires spending a fair amount of time to throw them. Bat Darts recently included a single soft tip machine where customers can test their darts. The shop is small and can be quite crowded during peak hours. We suggest doing your serious testing and shopping outside of peak hours when the staff can better assist you and there is plenty of time and room to try a few models. The shop staff are helpful and will give you plenty of time during off hours to try their line up of darts.

For darters who know what they need or are shopping for accessories, this is a great place to quickly drop in day or night. Bat Darts has convenient evening hours for those of us who work long daytime hours. Bat Darts have saved my darts night out on a few occasions thanks to their location and late hours (〜10pm). Perfect for that last minute item on the way to your favorite darts bar.

Thanks to the team at Bat Darts for taking time to interview with us. Bat Darts are located in Shibuya. Drop by and check out their line up of darts and equipment. We give Bat Darts a Dartbug 4.5 score.
