Thx all! I'm very surprised Onsen is in the Oxford Dictionary :) So I would add following description table and some samples to "amenity=public_bath" page in next a few days. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity%3Dpublic_bath
* bath:type = onsen ** amenity has bathing amenity, and the waters from natural hot spring. Common in Japan. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Onsen * bath:type = foot_bath ** foot_bath is usually are a (free) service offered in the front of the onsen to passerbys. It's very shallow, and surrounded by seats, it's like a big sink, rather than a pool. "Ashiyu" in Japanese. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashiyu * bath:open_air = [yes|no] ** bathing amenity which has "open air" bath. "Roten buro" in Japanese. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Onsen_in_Nachikatsuura,_Japan.jpg > Sento is basically a bath from heated water, right? so basically amenity=public_bath, right? Yes. so I'll make a comment for it as samples. 2014-03-07 22:34 GMT+09:00 Martin Koppenhoefer <dieterdre...@gmail.com>: > > 2014-03-07 13:12 GMT+01:00 johnw <jo...@mac.com>: > > well hot diggity-dog.
