Can I reach the Chidoricho yard scene entirely on foot from Kawasaki Station?

It is possible but not practical; most visitors take a Kawasaki City Bus from Kawasaki Station to the Chidoricho area and walk from the nearest stop.

Is photography allowed around the Kawasaki industrial complex scene location?

Public roadside photography is generally possible, but many adjacent lots are private industrial property, so do not enter fenced yards or block trucks.

Is this a good place to recreate the exact Girls Band Cry shot at night?

You can match the road geometry and industrial skyline well, but use caution after dark because sidewalks are limited in places and heavy vehicles may still be operating.

Nina stands alone on an industrial road at the Kawasaki waterfront, framed by the stark facilities and empty nighttime atmosphere.
This moment appears in an MV-style sequence, with Nina standing alone on an empty road in Kawasaki’s coastal industrial zone, surrounded by massive facilities, containers, and the cold night, all of which emphasize her loneliness and inner pressure. The shot condenses the anxiety, anger, and stubborn refusal to give up that she has built up so far; against the bleak landscape at the edge of the city, she looks small, yet determined not to be swallowed by reality. The emotions before and after this moment continue the series’ signature sense of youthful struggle: after hurt, confusion, and conflict, she turns those feelings into song and the strength to keep moving forward. In real life, the scene matches the roads and yard area around the Kawasaki industrial complex in Chidoricho quite closely. The anime recreates the straight roadway, the open feel of the waterfront industrial district, the streetlight layout, and the silhouettes of large industrial structures with impressive accuracy, especially the cold, hard atmosphere of a place far from the city center where only industrial facilities and transport spaces stretch into the distance. Compared with the anime, the real site usually has more visible signage, fences, road markings, and parking-control elements, and depending on the time, vehicles, containers, or construction equipment may increase or decrease. The anime simplifies some of those smaller details to focus more strongly on the contrast between the character and the empty industrial background. Overall, the location is highly recognizable, and it is an excellent pilgrimage spot where the match comes from the road alignment, the waterfront industrial skyline, and the layout of the yard area.
