Iwatobi Station
Most of the characters use trains for transport, so they're seen waiting on Iwatobi station a lot. Most common users of trains among main characters of the series are Nagisa and Rei. They seem to use the same line of trains, so they probably live in the same part of the town.

Iwatobi station had its first debut in 3rd episode while Nagisa was waiting in the train to set off after school. He tried to convince Rei to join Iwatobi High's Swim Club by following him around the station, but Rei refused everytime Nagisa asked him.
