All - I am in Tokyo now and appears that taxi to Akihabara then TX is an easiest option. taxi costs ~Y1700 and it takes about 15 minutes to get from Imperial hotel to Akihabara station.
I was actually very surprized that Hibiya line is actually not connected to Akihabara station so transiting from one to another is not that easy and involve considerable walk.

Note, though, that the TX and Asakusa Line stations are really far apart and you have to go several blocks through Asakusa to get between them. Staying in Akihabara seems like a really good option -- or, alternatively, stay in a nice place on the east side of Tokyo Station and take a cab to/from the TX side of Akihabara.
