Re: [Tagging] Hot springs

That's true - this is a specific pool, and would be an amenity offered, usually 
to the public next to the sidewalk out front ( usually anyone walking by can 
stick them in) not an overall feature - like a drinking fountain. Sometimes 
they are inside, in a common waiting area, so if you decide not to bathe with 
friends, you can at least soak your feet. Perhaps amenity=foot bath? Maybe it's 
not best for bath type then.  I dunno.

not sure if this is really a bath type, my suggestion would be to make it a
pool:type or something similar, as it seems to be not refering to the

Also, as was pointed out earlier in the thread, some onsen are not associated 
with hot springs, but have hot sand instead.

+1,
 in your case I think I'd most probably use "onsen" to have a very specific
tag for the very specific feature you are trying to map, something like
"hot spring bath" is not as specific as "onsen" (e.g. also refering to
style and the legal requirements you laid out above: "The water of "onsen"
bathing amenity is from always natural. And in precise, it is upper 25'C
and must have mineral element. (by law)"), an onsen is a japanese bath, and
this is IMHO worth pointing out, just as a restaurant will have typically
warm meals, but there is still a big difference between e.g. japanese and
say russian kitchen.

Thx all!
I'm very surprised Onsen is in the Oxford Dictionary :)

So I would add following description table and some samples to

* bath:type = onsen
** amenity has bathing amenity, and the waters from natural hot spring.
Common in Japan. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Onsen

* bath:type = foot_bath

But the question remains of who says that the water is drinkable.
Following the discussions we have add on the French ML, the French

Opening hours really needs to be parseable, it contains data that
is of value to data consumers (like routing software.) for example,
the opening_hours format gets used for turn restrictions that have
times attached and for seasonal roads. treating it as free form
would be a disaster.

I think, "Onsen" is the very unique word to represent "bathing 
amenity, that water from natural hot spring".

So, I would like to hear the situations of other countries.


There is no single word in english that means onsen, so it would have 
to be several words at once. But there are other words that have been 
adopted (wadi, for example) to succinctly describe something that 
would need multiple words in english, so maybe they'll adopt the

'Onsen' is in the Oxford Dictionary, defined as 'In Japan: a hot spring,

Up to now there is no approval and no wiki-page about "drinkable". So

elements that already contains a hint to "drinkable=".

Up to now there is no approval about "drinking_water". We mustn't

I don't prefer "potable", because it is not in common use in OSM.

What do you think? Going on with the existing scheme or making a new

yes, quite often am I wondering whether I should add a particular little
known gem to OSM for this exact reason.
For the foreseeable future I don't think OSM is likely to be a major factor
trashing them, other media are quicker spreading the news and lists of POIs.
With an OSM map, I don't want to be the last one knowing;)

no longer I have changed it to natural_hot_spring and it is supposed to be
the hole where hot water exits, along with a tag describing the water
characteristic.

We have many other ways to map amenitie.s and tourist attractions so that
these are merely listed in the proposal

This is for an amenity for a building - like Sauna. not a natural=hot_spring 
(which is what you are talking about), so cool your waters.

Searching the word "onsen" in Japanese returned 58,000 pins in Japan - It's no

Just saying:

keep quiet about locations,
passing the word though caving societies and word of mouth.  Why?
Because caves and hot springs
that become well known get trashed, crowded, muggled, and/or shut down
due to the above.

I know of a number of each type of facility that I won't be adding to

There is no single word in english that means onsen, so it would have to be 
several words at once. But there are other words that have been adopted (wadi, 
for example) to succinctly describe something that would need multiple words in 
english, so maybe they'll adopt the Japanese word here.

In the US, there are actually several onsens setup by Japanese people for 
Japanese tourists, but Americans don't know they exist. There are natural hot 
baths and springs (Murrieta Hot Springs in East Los Angeles, for example) but 
there is absolutely no culture of public hot spring bathing, nor locations 
easily available in the US, as opposed to a sauna/steam room or spa resorts 
that can be found in every major city.

Sento is basically a bath from heated water, right? so basically 
amenity=public_bath, right?

For others reading this: Noting foot_bath is good, as they are usually are a 
(free) service offered in the front of the onsen to passerbys - a way to try 
the water without going inside, or in public areas. 
it's very shallow, and surrounded by seats, it's like a big sink, rather than a 
pool. Locating them (there's usually several in a hot spring resort town) is 
great for finding them when walking around a big resort area like Kusatsu or 
Ikaho. They are common throughout Japan, and there are several famous ones as 
well (like the one next to the hot springs in the center of town in Kusatsu).

Nice to tag open_air too. I went to an onsen in Toyama near the beach, and I 
was surprised there was no open air bath. having it tagged would be great.  

I hope that people here recognize how common Onsens are in Japan, How essential 
they are to domestic and international tourists, and they are distinct compared 
to any other bathing amenity (like a sauna).
