Additionally, the city is temporarily offering buses services that connect to destinations outside the city.

Buses between Wajima Station and Anamizu General Hospital in Anamizu Town are running eight times a day, and buses between Anamizu General Hospital and Sojiji Temple in the city are running four times a day.

Due to poor road conditions, the buses will not stop at some locations, and will also make occasional detours.
