Sometimes they are inside, in a common waiting area, so if you decide not to bathe with friends, you can at least soak your feet. Perhaps amenity=foot bath? Maybe it's not best for bath type then.

<div>* bath:type = foot_bath<br>** 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. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashiyu" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashiyu</a></div>
</blockquote></div><br><br>not sure if this is really a bath type, my suggestion would be to make it a pool:type or something similar, as it seems to be not refering to the complex as a whole (what I think onsen is) but to a part of an onsen, i.e. a specific pool inside the onsen? Or maybe I got you wrong? bath:type=foot_bath to me suggests a foot_bath only place...<br>
