The only route is by car, I think.
I checked the bus below and it is not accessible unfortunately.

There are some car rentals that has accessible cars, so it is one of the choices, if you go with someone who drives.

If you ask for accessible car with a driver it would be 60k to 80k JPY a day, rough guess.
You have a lot of places to visit in that region. Takaoka is full of historical value – Takoka Kojo Park, Zuiryuji Temple, etc. To the north you have Himi Fish Market and Amaharashi Kaigan View Spot, On the way to Ainokura, you have Inami, a town of wood carving, and so on.
