Greeting PH Community! In 2023, I had the privilege to visit Japan 🇯🇵 and I was thoroughly impressed, by virtually everything in the country, but especially so with the strong ritualistic culture around hot springs. There are multiple health benefits to soaking in a body of hot water and it depends as well on its temperature, pH, mineral content, and other factors. Most notably, they are relaxing and soothing, which is telling of the impact of hot treatment on our circulatory system 😌 We have so much to learn from other cultures. So I decided to start an experiment that makes hot springs a sought after experience. 🗺️ A directory of hot springs around the world, according to Google Maps. 🗣️ Summarized Google Map reviews of visitors. 🧠 Curated listings and filters by myself. Ideas for the future 1. Lists than can be shared. 2. Comments by community 3. Travel itineraries encompassing the hot springs and surroundings. Looking forward to suggestions and feedback!

Congrats on the launch, Aris Nakos! Hot Springs List sounds like a dream come true for hot spring enthusiasts and travelers looking for unique experiences. The combination of an interactive directory with user reviews is a game-changer. I'm curious to know: Have you encountered any unexpected challenges while curating the listings and filters for the hot springs? Excited to see the community's response and the future features you have in mind!

@mashy Albert, thank you for the support. Difficulties are the following: 0. Have to go through every item on the list - necessary, but tedious. 1. Maps Places API, may not return the actual place with reviews ( ~3% of the time). So I have to manually go over the map and find the right place 2. When applying a tag, say natural/facility/hotel - the logic is subject to the Google Maps listing, which is not standard. Some places for example, are listed as spas, while others aren't, but are. I look forward to your launch, which may help in wireframing future editions of Hot Springs List.
