During 18+ years of working at a Japanese company in Tokyo, my train fare to and from work was paid with a pass from the company. This was true for all our employees, and other companies offered the same perk to their employees.

The pass was free and good for travel at any time along that route.

That’s called a 定期券 and you can buy that yourself if you want to save some yen on your commute, though it’s only really worth it if you’re going between the stations most weekdays consistently.
