Click on the convoys button to see the convoy lanes. Hover over a lane to see what is being transported. If you don't see the amount you expect going back to Japan, then check for enemy interdiction (convoy raids - look in the 'reports') or failure to control the export port on the convoy lane. Make sure you have assigned escorts to the active convoy lanes.

Oil and resource convoys are created automatically going back to Japan.

Supply is sent automatically from Japan to all owned ports elsewhere, like Truk and Rabaul, unless those ports are blockaded or the supplies are interdicted by enemy ships or air.

Look on the convoys panel to see resources being sent to Japan automatically, without the player actually setting up the convoy.
