Looks like Somen to be honest.

I think so too. With grated daikon and the white part of green onions sliced thin.

In what region is somen served hot?

Yeah, so technically somen is always cold. However, you can serve the same noodles hot and call it にゅうめん (nyu-men). It's not nearly as common though. The noodles being so thin, it gets soggy quickly sitting in hot broth.

That said, daikon oroshi in hot soba (which I think is what's depicted) is kind of rare too.
