OpenStreetMap
I would like to request make onsen mark on the Open Street Map. There is no doubt that one of the biggest Japanese tourists attraction is hot springs, we call it onsen, Were we soak natural hot spring bath for relaxing or enjoy communication with good friends something like bar in England or Spain, I guess. There is no onsen mark showing locations on the map is missing. This is one of the great missing mark for Japanese tourist attraction.
I don’t know this is a right place to post my request for open street map. So if I made a wrong massage on the wrong place, plese let me know. I will send my opinion to the right place. Thanks.

I assume you are referring to rendering an icon on the map?
This is not the right place to ask this, but I can help you with it.
First of all, it has to be a feature that’s tagged with some standard tags. The only thing I could find about onsen is this: osm.wiki/Proposed_features/Hot_bath_or_Onsen or maybe this: osm.wiki/Proposed_features/Hot_Spring
That doesn’t help me a lot further.
Could you tell me what kind of tagging is used for it? That tagging scheme should be documented in the wiki when it’s used a lot, or should go through a voting process when it isn’t used a lot yet.
The mapnik team will only consider rendering the icon when it has some good documented information about it.
Btw, I don’t get notifications when you reply, so please PM me.
