How to find restaurants?

How do you get information about Japanese restaurant when you trip to Japan?

Do you see the TripAdvisor, Yelp or others?

I'd recommend Bento.com for major cities (Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, Nagoya) and Tabelog.com in English for other places (although the latter can be difficult to use).

"Tabelog" and "gurunavi" maybe enough.
http://tabelog.com/en/
https://gurunavi.com/?__ngt__=TT0b2f91122000ac1e4a0f24tCuSjiHlCuP7pyl0...

Both are very famous restaurant information/searching site in Japan
made by Japanese big company with customers reports(review and pics) a lot.
But above links are customied for foregin travelers not translated all original(JP) pages.
If you can read or translate(by Google or) Japanese read original pages recommend.


BTW,which food menu you like/want?
Read each region,prefecture,city and town's siteseeing info web?
