The DOAJ has added a page of statistics by country. For each of 90 countries, you can quickly see how many OA journals it had in the DOAJ in any of the past seven years (for example, Japan in 2004 = 72) and how many it added that year (Japan in 2004 = 47).
Each number links to a list. For example, here's the list of 47 Japanese OA journals added to the DOAJ during 2004.
PS: This will be very useful for tracking the growth of OA journals over time and their spread to different countries.

The open access movement:
Putting peer-reviewed scientific and scholarly literature
on the internet. Making it available free of charge and
free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
I recommend the OA tracking project (OATP) as the best way to stay on top of new OA developments. You can read the OATP feed on a blog-like web page or subscribe to it by RSS, email, or Twitter. You can also help build the feed by tagging new developments you encounter.
