Thank you MMM. And do you think it is worth to buy JR Rail Pass if I'm not only going to Tokyo from Kyoto, but also a round trip from Tokyo to Shizuoka? Or it is better and cheaper to just ride on local train?

Impossible. I would do Tokyo Tower in the morning, grab lunch, then Odaiba in the afternoon then maybe Shinjuku for dinner.

It would take me a month to do your itinerary...but i don't like rushing.
Haha, I understand what you mean. I'd rather take it slow and appreciate the city bit by bit if I have a month for travel. However, it's too bad that I only have about a week in Japan and only about 3 days in Tokyo. That's why I want to make the most of my time. Our plan is just to take photo with Tokyo Tower down from street and go see the city's view from Government Metro building instead. Ah, it does look like a very rush schedule, but hopefully I could make it.
