I find it harder to get the other items (voodoo doll, dragon scroll) when sending couples on vacation. Sometimes, after one person gets the gift, the scenario won't reset for other vacationers. Other times, it does.
Well, you can take the entire party to get the dragon legend. One sim gets the wise old man to tell the story, then once it's going have the rest of the party join. They'll all learn the legend. Nice and efficient. :) (Note: have not tried with guest vacationers, because they are annoying and useless.)
buddha pest:
Yeah, not to mention they can just tell the legend to each other, and it passes on the scroll.
But I do it the Roux way and have the rest of the family hang out and fish while someone chats the man up.
The voodoo doll thing is annoying, and I've never been able to get it to reset during the same vacation.

No, one sim telling the legend to another sim does not pass the scroll. I checked this the first time someone got the scroll.
Of course, even a sim without the scroll who has never heard the legend can tell the legend, under freakish circumstances. But that's another matter.

I don't know why you guys have so much trouble. I catch him more than half of the time.
Here's a tip: do it after dark. You can see the POOF! more clearly. And until he shows, just have your Sim walking from left to right without interacting with any other Sims.
In the lot that has the two teapots and the zen garden, he most often appears for me at the far left side of the screen, outside the fence, on the other side of the sushi bar. The other times, he usually appears in the center back, near the trees. I put my sim on the sidewalk, half-way between those two spots and just walk left and right for a while, and if I don't see him promptly, I leave and come back.
I find that the ninja shows up in the same places as yours with same conditions. That fence around the one site, with the food stand, became an obstacle, so I removed the fence. Now the sim, who quietly waits nearby, gets there quickly before the ninja is gone.
The ninja statue is huge! Only place that I could see that it would fit in for me is if I created a 'Ninja World" commercial lot to visit and house that monster sized statue.
Where is the best place to put that statue? Does it have to be at one of the vacation lots? It is really huge and I imagine on top of one of the buildings wouldn't work if the ninja appears near it.
jsalemi:
The statue is big, but there's usually enough room on the existing comm lots to put it somewhere. Like the lot you talked about (the pagoda lot with the food stand and the wall) -- the ninja statute fits on the right-hand side of the entrance gate right in front, not far from the phone booth. On the Lucky Shrine lot, you can stick it between the bathroom and the gift shop. On the 'tea party' lot (with the two tea pavilions and food stand and zen garden), the only place it really fits is at the back of the lot, and then you have to remove one of the park benches.
The only lot I haven't found a good place for it is the hot springs one.
