The only route is by car, I think.

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.
