Hello, > John > an onsen doesn't necessarily have water available, but, if water is available, it must be from a hot spring? Correct.
> Onsen is not English word Exactly. But I don't know the correct word to represent "Onsen" in English. Is "[something]=hot_spring_bath" better? 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. > Martin > amenity=public_bath + subtag Thank you. It seems nice approach with no conflict to existing scheme. So detailed possible values are ... 1. bath:type = * * [onsen or hot_spring_bath] * [sento or not_from_spring] * [foot_bath] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashiyu) (I'm not a native speaker, suggestions for more proper expression are welcome!) And, to represent existent of "Roten buro(open air bathing amenity)" or not, what about to use following tag? Like the key:open_air. (Although only 3 use.) http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/open_air 2. bath:open_air = [yes|no] Cheers. 2014-03-06 2:51 GMT+09:00 Martin Koppenhoefer <dieterdre...@gmail.com>: > > > > Am 05/mar/2014 um 17:56 schrieb Satoshi IIDA <nyamp...@gmail.com>: > > > > The water of "onsen" bathing amenity is from always natural. > > And in precise, it is upper 25'C and must have mineral element.
