Except for two days a year, you wouldn't be able to visit the actual Imperial Palace; did advertisements lead you to believe you'd be taking a peek? The gardens are ho-hum, IMO, but I don't ever recall hearing that one could just stop on by (with/without advanced notice) and welcome themselves in.
Odaiba, ehh, seems like more of a destination for those who like public transit. You can walk on the Rainbow Bridge, take a monorail, another subway, something else...more shopping too, yes, and there's even a mall
specifically for women, VenusFort. I went there for five minutes, but that was more because I just took a day to see the area. This isn't a pro-Odaiba blurb, but at least there are different photo opportunities of Tokyo, and a bunch of food options (if that's your thing).
