Beautiful Japanese Gardens
You will find beautiful Gardens in Japan but the best ones are located in Kyoto. Japanese Gardens were copied long time ago from the Chinese Gardens but over the centuries Japan has created their own style which is now very different from other cultures.
Japanese gardens (nihon teien?) are traditional gardens that create miniature idealized landscapes, often in a highly abstract and stylized way.[1] The gardens of the Emperors and nobles were designed for recreation and aesthetic pleasure, while the gardens of Buddhist temples were designed for contemplation and meditation. Japanese garden styles include karesansui, Japanese rock gardens or Zen gardens, which are meditation gardens where white sand replaces water; roji, simple, rustic gardens with teahouses where the Japanese tea ceremony is conducted; kaiyū-shiki-teien, promenade or stroll gardens, where the visitor follows a path around the garden to see carefully composed landscapes; and tsubo-niwa, small courtyard gardens.

Tōfuku-ji is a very well know and famous Garden
If you go to Kyoto make sure to visit this Garden. It has all the elements and the moss garden is really beautiful. The Zen Style Stones which make a wave in the Stone Garden are beautiful too. I really love this Japanese Style.
