The onsen icon (♨) is commonly used all over Japan (of course), and is a great icon (a hot bath with steam rising out) to represent a place to get a hot natural bath vs a natural park's hot-spring. "Onsen" always means naturally sourced hot water as well, vs a bathhouse (amenity=spa? showers?), which merely heats up the water with a boiler for you to use.
amenity=hot_spring_bath might be a good differentiation, because ♨ = bath Javbw On Mar 5, 2014, at 10:06 AM, Satoshi IIDA <nyamp...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > So the idea is to have > > natural=hot_spring - the hole in earth where hot water is comming out > I see :) > > So I prefer to switch the icon from Onsen icon ♨ to another ones. > it ♨ maybe to use for leisure/amenity scheme. > > > > > > 2014-03-04 21:10 GMT+09:00 Richard Z. <ricoz....@gmail.com>: > On Tue, Mar 04, 2014 at 03:50:30PM +0900, Satoshi IIDA wrote: > > Hi, > > > > +1 to Tobias. > > > > I feel it needs clarification for this tag scope. > > > > I think it was "leisure=hot_spring" once, > > and switched to "natural=hot_spring". > > exactly. > > > So the main purpose of this scheme is now "natural". > > Like to represent a geyser or some natural features, it seems. > > > > So it is better to make another tag scheme to represent "Onsen" ♨ bathing > > facility. > > as you mentioned we already have various methods to map bathing facilities, > thanks for pointing out leisure=public_bath. > > 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.
