Go for it, but please keep the Hot spring. It just wouldn't be the same without it xD
Nah, just kiddin'. It is better in anyway to have a more managable map, not only for the poor guy who has to fill it all but also for the player.
I also often See World-Maps in RPG-Makers that piss me the hell off, because there is a Map that I need 2 hours to go around and yet there are 10 or maybe 15 things at best connected to it, which just doesn't justify to have that big map in the first place (except if there are parts of it that are generally unreachable, that's ok then, since nobody forces you to give the player "THE Airship" to check if the hotspring exists... but... well... it'd better exist! *evil eyes*)
