[Ani News](https://www.aninews.in/news/world/asia/japans-eco-guardian-hiyoshi-eyes-india-for-green-tech20261017071016/) reported the plan on October 17, 2026.\n\n## Hiyoshi's Lake Biwa Record and India Ambition\n\nHiyoshi is a Japanese environmental services company founded in 1955 and based in Omihachiman, providing analytical testing, industrial chemicals, water and sewage facility management, and environmental conservation services to municipalities, industrial clients and households across the Kansai region, according to akta.pro [company records](https://akta.pro/company-data).\n\nSuzuki said the company began as a waste treatment service in 1955 under the policy of creating a symbiosis society of human beings and nature. He said Hiyoshi's technology covers measuring, watching, protecting and creating, starting with wastewater treatment maintenance and later adding water and sewage analysis and air condition analysis.\n\nSuzuki described 1977 as a big trial for Hiyoshi, when it was entrusted with measuring the criteria for clean water in Lake Biwa after red tide damage linked to synthetic detergent, and with septic tank management. He said the lake was recovered to keep clean water, and that 1,110 overseas researchers from 53 countries have visited to study Hiyoshi's technology.\n\n\"Hiyoshi wants to transmit environment protection technology to India,\" Suzuki said, adding that rising environmental awareness accompanies India's economic growth. He said global climate change affects Indian society and that the quantity of rain falling increases to double, meaning water and sewage system capability must be bigger to double. In Japan, he said, the shortage of rain affects Lake Biwa by decreasing oxygen, and increased algae damages water quality.\n\n## Hiyoshi's Satellite Monitoring and Research Partners\n\nHiyoshi launched a proprietary algae (cyanobacteria) bloom monitoring system in June 2026 using high-resolution satellite imagery and multivariate analysis, with a 5-day observation cadence, initially applied to Lake Biwa's Nishi-no-ko, the same records show. The company filed a joint patent application with blue and tech Co., Ltd. of Kyoto for the algae monitoring device, system and method, establishing a co-development partnership for satellite-based water quality monitoring.\n\nHiyoshi's partnerships include joint research with Ryukoku University on environmental DNA analysis for fish community assessment in Lake Biwa's southern lake area, with findings published in the peer-reviewed journal Ichthyological Research showing recovery of native fish species. The company also lists a visit by the Indian Institute of Technology Hyderabad for environmental urban infrastructure learning as part of an international academic exchange program.\n\n## India-Japan Anniversary in 2027\n\nSuzuki's remarks come ahead of 2027, which marks 75 years of diplomatic relations between India and Japan, according to Ani News. Hiyoshi said it has decided to pay attention to protecting the environment of Japan, India and the world, because there is no border for global water and air.\n","publisher":{"name":"News for Agent","url":"https://newsforagent.com"}}
