Billiards & Darts at CROWD NINE

A space to enjoy a casual game of darts or billiards, CROWD NINE also aims to reinvigorate the billiards scene, promoting the game as more than just an amusement, but also as the serious sport it truly is.

CROWD NINE holds billiards tournaments and has opened Japan's first billiards school taught by our affiliated professional players. In addition to promoting the game and increasing the number of competitors, we intend to lead the billiards world, offering the services others in the industry are not, will not, or cannot.

In addition to our spacious complex at the North Exit of Chofu Station, which features 20 billiards tables and five dart game machines, we also opened our Nishi-Kawaguchi parlor in September 2005. In March 2006, we also added our Shibuya parlor, located just one-minute on foot from Shibuya Station on the Inokashira Line. Guests at the Shibuya parlor use our original token tickets as currency to pay at their tables for their food and drinks. This parlor offers a unique environment where patrons can enjoy games and refreshments in a relaxed atmosphere, either on the spacious deck with tables available for eating and drinking, or in the individual rooms equipped with both billiards tables and dart games.
