So the idea is to have natural=hot_spring - the hole in earth where hot water is comming out + natural=water - if there is a pool of water around it + water_characteristic - attached to both spring and water + all other related facilities mapped with their own well known tags such as tourism=attraction, amenity=public_bath, leisure=beach_resort, natural=beach, sport=swimming .. please add those which I have forgotten. Some of those tags, like swimming need improvement which is independent from this proposal. water_characteristic is intended to be reusable for natural=spring and all waterways and other water bodies. > Many Japanese rural "tourism=hotel" has Onsen amenity. > > # Some Japanese mappers use "amenity=public_bath" to represent "Sento". > # "Sento" is like a spa, but more daily used amenity. > # http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sent%C5%8D > > In my opinion, to represent a "Onsen Hotel", > e.g. > "tourism=hotel" > "amenity=public_bath" > "leisure=onsen" > > or some combination. (yes, this is very draft!) natural=hot_spring is for springs of natural origin. A leisure=onsen is orthogonal to this so those could be easily combined if the onsen is from a natural source. Otherwise you would have just leisure=onsen. Richard _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
