Excellent Sites on Kyoto:
This is a site of Bowdoin college of the United States. The exhibition is scientific and well organized. You can learn much about Japanese gardens. Following is a quote from the site.
The web site is dedicated to the gardens of Japan, and more specifically to the historic gardens of Kyoto and its environs. Although many of these gardens are located within Zen monasteries, this site does not explore the influence of Zen Buddhism on Japanese garden design, an influence that is often conjectural at best. Instead, the site is designed to provide the visitor with an opportunity to visit each garden, to move through or around it, to experience it through the medium of high-quality color images, and to learn something of its history.

My favorite sites
You will see excellent paintings and etchings of European cities and Kyoto. The home page of this site is basically written in Japanese but the site itself contains more English words than Japanese words so you can navigate without problem if you do not understand Japanese language.
