This piece introduces the Nara Hari Terrace Diner, a favourite rest stop for Kansai riders in Nara City. Part of a Maido Okini Shokudo inside Hari Terrace near the Hari IC on the Meihan Expressway, its formal name is Hari T.R.S (Tea-time Resort Station). The signature dish is golden-fried horse mackerel praised for its crisp coating. It opens from 7am on weekdays and runs straight through on weekends and holidays, making it easy to drop by.

Spread out a map and Hari Terrace sits right at the junction of Kansai touring. Its spot at the Hari IC on the Meihan Expressway means you pass through it heading almost anywhere. If you can eat fried horse mackerel from 7am, I'd set off before dawn, take breakfast here and start the real day from there. As a place to ponder where to ride next, it's perfect.

First I've heard the formal name is Hari T.R.S. Always just called it Hari Terrace.

Open from 7am is almost too kind to the early-morning touring crowd.

Pushing the fried horse mackerel is a nice touch. Not the curry, huh.

It's a Maido Okini diner, so the value is a sure thing.

Hari Terrace is the hub for Kansai touring. Meet here first.

Hari's been a rest-stop staple forever. Ride the Meihan and you stop once.
