Yes, this is a very difficult point. I also could not define which is better. Maybe depending on the situation and country. But from Japanese view, Onsen's main feature is as "public_bath" and the type of bath is the sub category. (and from operator's view, it is easier to make query :) ) If the facility announces they are "XXX's sauna" or given name, and they are not onsen amenity, it is better to tag them as "amenity=sauna" even in Japan. 2014-03-10 17:23 GMT+09:00 Richard Z. <[email protected]>: > On Mon, Mar 10, 2014 at 01:44:30PM +0900, Satoshi IIDA wrote: > > > John > > > some onsen are not associated with hot springs, but have hot sand > instead. > > Yes, but they are rare case. > > Most of onsen are hot water bath. > > So might be represented by adding following sub_tags. > > > > bath:sand_bath=[yes|no] ; if the bathing amenity is sand bath (Suna_yu) > or > > not. > > that reminds me we also have hay_bath in the Alps, so that would also > fit into it and may be helpful for other cases too. > > > bath:sauna=[yes|no] ; if the bathing amenity has sauna facility. > (Use > > it when the main function of the amenity is public_bath. consider using > > "amenity=sauna" when the main purpose of the amenity is sauna) > > not sure but usually the sauna in public baths is somewhat separated so > we might as well tag part of the object as sauna. > > Richard > > _______________________________________________ > Tagging mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging > -- Satoshi IIDA mail: [email protected] twitter: @nyampire
