To me, Amenity=onsen is similar to amenity=townhall. for many onsen, there is no particular room you would say is " the onsen," just like no particular room is the "townhall", It is the title of the facility itself.. The purpose of the facility becomes it's name.
There might be some small facilities where a certain building is "the onsen", or there is a separation between the shower/prep areas and the actual bathing area, or like a Hotel with a public onsen indoors, and and separate, outdoor bath(s) outside. Tag the amenity on the landuse for the hotel, or tag the amenity onto the hotel building with :outdoor=no, and :outdoor=yes on the actual outdoor bath building/pool. Same thing would go for a sauna. If the building itself is "bob's sauna" - the obviously tag the building or landuse. if only part of the area can be defined as "the sauna" - when the facility's purpose isn't to be a sauna, like a hotel complex or something, then just tag the sauna area by itself, right?
